This was my last chance to hang out at the airport before we head out on a 50 day road trip on Monday. Rodney was putting the cowling on his RV-7A. This is not an easy task. The price you pay for a smooth engine cowl is difficulty in installation. Additionally, Rodney has a three blade prop which interferes with putting on the lower section. It is all held in place with piano hinges which are hard to thread. Anyway, we got it back together and Rodney ran it up in front of the hangar.
