The cowl only comes with a prepared hole, i have made a aluminium flap but cannot find a hing or catch suitable. Thanks Kevin UK -------- Back home .................

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.

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?

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!!!

The result seems to be very well behaved in a slip.
