The aluminium is not a real problem to work with. And if you need
to experiment (like us) it is easier bend/fold than fiberglass.
Also the aluminium gets rather hot, I'm not sure if you can use our
standard SP systems epoxy in that area.
And keep it simple to remove the lower cowling, you would be amazed
how many times we removed the lower cowling in the past few weeks.
