I'm in the process of installing the first production cowling.
The one I installed on my plane was actually a prototype.
Between mine (the prototype) and Brian's (the first production cowling)
we made some changes to the joggle where the upper cowling meets the
lower cowling, the lay-up schedule on both the upper and lower to make
them stiffer, and the mounting of the inlets and cooling exit ramps.
Everything worked out well except the joggle. The cowling has to go
back to Lancaster to get that fixed. Should only take a couple of
days. Still, now you know why I wanted to install the first 5
cowlings. Work out the bugs and make sure the installation
instructions make sense.
So far, I have about 25 to 30 hours invested in fitting the cowling to
the plane. This is one area where you don't want to trim off too much
material.
So, Brian, about that trip to Oshkosh . . . . . . .
