Why make it a horizontal cutout? I decided to give my Piet a smile!

a mesh screen in the opening. Neither of those openings should have anything
to do with cooling the engine or oil sump. However, the J-3 does not have a
pressure cowl so there is cooling air entering through the eyebrows, sweeping
down over the cylinders, the out the bottom of the cowling after going around
the oil sump and carb.

It's easier to cut new ones than to patch ones that you don't need.

Ben; that cutout does look kinda cute! I'll bet the skullcap spinner on the prop
adds at least 5 MPH to your top speed, too! ;o) By the way, is that the pitot
tube out there on the port side wing, near the strut attachment? I couldn't
see anything else that might be it in the photo.

Ben,
Is your "Rose Bowl" made of metal, or fiberglass? If fiberglass, did you make the
"mold"? If metal, how did you do it?
Thanks,

I think Gerry calls his a "Rose Bowl" because it's on a Rose Parrakeet. I guess
ours could be called a "Pieten Bowl" ;o)

Ahhh... my bad. Gerry's airplane is a Corben Baby Ace D. Now I'm not sure why
he calls it a Rose Bowl and not a Baby Bowl ;o)
I have heard from another builder that the rectangular slot is intended to deliver
cooling air to the engine cases and oil sump, so it's probably a good idea.
Pretty easy to run some tests with the opening taped up to see what difference
it makes in oil temp after about 30 minutes in cruise flight.

Oscar Hi.
I'm now doubting my sanity. WHY?..... Rose Bowl? In truth I don't know
where that came from. Perhaps Nose Bowl is what I mean.
Old age has crept up.
On my earlier Corben I had the oval slot but cover it with aluminium
panel. It didn't cause any temperature problems.
But here summer temperatures never go above 80F anyway. Picture
attached.
