| Subject: | Re: installing the cowl |
Hey Tex: I remove mine by placing my rolling footstool under the front, and
gently lowering it down to the stool. I take out the screws, un hook the two
air hoses, then the hinge pins on the oil cooler (while holding the front at
the last bit) and then wiggle/work it down as required. I have removed it
about 4 times and still have not scratched it (knock on my hard head)
Lynn Nelsen
Merry Christmas to you too.

Thanks for the kind words! I clearly need to get on the list more often!
And yes, I can't wait to fly it myself.

| Subject: | Re: installing the cowl |
Hello Tex
First, it is easier if you cut a notch in the lower fiberglass cowl at
the trailing edge to easily fit around the nose gear leg and provide
clearance when installing and removing it. I found this out after I
already scratched it. Look at Nick's bottom cowl. This mod is not in the
manual. I cut out a notch about 2.5" square.
Second, I wrap a towel around the nose gear faring and pant. It helps to
prevent scratches.
Third, I installed a length of twisted wire around the top engine
mounts, (one on each side) so I could slip the wire through a quarter
turn fastener hole in the lower cowl to support it while I remove the
four lower screws. Then, I support the bottom of the cowl with my right
knee and pull out the twisted wire so the cowl rests on my knee and
carefully lower it to the ground.
Sound like a lot of maneuvering....it is. But, after you do it a few
times, it gets easier. Oh, and don't forget to remove the clamps for the
oil cooler inlet and air ducts.
Have a great holiday.

HI Tex , If you go to a 2nd hand shop & get an old telescopic office
chair take the back off & wheel it under the cowl. Adjust the height ,
take out the cowl screws & wheel it out, works just as good putting it
back on. A simple one person operation.
We use it all the time on our build projects.
