Need some advice from someone who has done their cowl. Following the instructions, I trimmed the aft edge from the landing gear the whole way up to the windshield to the fuel fill. The bottom lines up pretty good, that meaning a smooth transition from the cowl bottom to fuselage bottom. But the top wants to spring up about 1-1/2 from the windshield. If I push it down, then a bulge pushes out at the fuselage top at the windshield. Do I need to just keep taking off more? I'm afraid If I take off too much more, the distance from the hub to the windshield will be too short.
Notice how much the cowl is away fro the windshield...about 1-1/2".
