Can any one who has used the comlet molded cowls for a Rotax engined XL tell me
what they did to hinge and fit a catch for the oil filler flap.
The cowl only comes with a prepared hole, i have made a aluminium flap but cannot
find a hing or catch suitable.
Thanks

We used a flat aluminum extruded hinge and put it on the under side if the
cowl and the flap. We used simple Dzus fasteners to hold it down.

Hi Kevin
'Good to hear from you again! It sounds like you are making good
progress--I wish I could say the same. I'm moving slowly, but, at least,
I'm moving.
I'm sure there are many solutions to this. You might take a look at Larry
McFarland's approach
http://macsmachine.com/
Click the Cowling link, and you'll find some photos that pretty clearly
show what Larry did. There are other approaches using hinges that appear to
be similar to invisible cabinet hinges.
I'll also attach a couple of photos that I took at Zenair's Open Hangar
Days 2007. They do not show the mechanism, but both appear to use simple
piano hinges and Dzus type fasteners for the closure. 'Sorry, but I do not
know who owned those 601's.

For those of you who installed the dynon pitot/AOA tube - where did you install
the static port? Did you go with one or two?
Cessnas usually install the ports on the side of the fuselage, just behind the
cowling. That makes for a short run to the instrument panel. In other aircraft
I have also seen them installed on the tailcone.
Recommendations?

I tried the pilot side of the fuselage - had bad readings, tried the passenger
side, had better but still bad. Tried to tee them together - had better still
yet but still a bit off. Opened up to the cockpit and have just about perfect
- go figure!!!

Tim,
I used the Grumman approach and used two ports midway back on the
fuselage. The result seems to be very well behaved in a slip.
