In order to make progress on the baffles, I need to fit the cowl. In order to fit the cowl, I need to install the prop. This took much longer than I thought. There are six bolts that hold the prop to the crankshaft flange, and they can each only make about one turn before they bind and you have to move on to the next bolt. That ended up taking about a half hour. What took even longer though was getting the spinner back plate installed. There is very little room for fingers or tools between the back of the prop hub and the back plate.
