Started On Bottom Cowling

Austin came home to visit and work on the airplane a little. Actually, he wanted to avoid having to shop at the outlet mall so he asked if I would come pick him up. The bottom cowl is large so having extra hands was a big help.

Here's the oil door latch I'm planning on using. They were used on Cessna oil doors and look nice on the RV installations I've seen. It's a Camloc KM610-64. The "-64" is the preferred size for the oil door and indicates the height of the raised center part of the button but they're getting hard to find. I got this from Univair Aircraft in Kansas and it was the lowest price I could find ($26 shipped). B&B Aircraft has the "-32" size for only $10 but they fit a thinner door. It's the same latch, just with a lower raised center.
