Subject: TeamGrumman-List: Cowling Update
From: teamgrumman@aol.com


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 . . . . . . .
