Got the other PE parts which brace the breather to the cowling installed. I didn’t bother with my cardboard thubgunmabobber. Instead I very carefully attached the but that fastens it to the cowling first, then, using a cocktail umbrella to bridge the gap, I moved the other piece into potision with the blade of my hobby knife, tweaked the position gently until it was just right, and then added a little more CA with the pointed tip of the cocktail umbrella. Yeah, folks, we use precision tools around here!

Little umbrellas are an advanced method. A technique handed down through the years from some guy in Hawaii I think.

Good progress on the G.

I hope that no cocktails were harmed in the making of this update...

Heh... my alcohol of choice is grape soda. :giggles:

I don’t drink but when I do, I like a good Tom Collins. Some places make them bitter, others good.

I love a good Tom Collins! I make a decent one. I also make a Juan Collins, with Eapolón tequila instead of Hendricks gin.
