Have decided to follow the norm and go with the X bracing . I can see the advantage
to tying the top and bottom longerons together on the diagonal and the four
smaller triangles between the Ls should be stronger.

| Subject: | cowl flap for 801 |
Has anyone installed a cowl flap on an 801?
I had real problem with cooling when I put N801BW on floats. I finally
solved the problem by opening up the bottom of the cowl to let air out. Now
when it is cool outside I can't keep my cylinder head temps up where they
should be.
I am looking for a simple way to install a cowl flap.

Hello Bill,
-
Probably in the Bingelis books you can find something... I can remember rea
ding about a engine cowl system that was kind of automatic,- He used-ai
rcooling termostats from the VW car cooling system, was very clever because
when the engine heated, the coils off course heated, pushing open the cowl
flaps and letting air out.--- Probably there are some more examples.
..-
I have all the Bingelis books, but at my factory,- so probably monday aft
ernoon I can look at them.
Great colection of books to have.- They are from EAA.

THE ch750 seems to have the flaperons mounted above a modified bracket
closer to the wing,
has this been to any advantage in cruise speed? authority?
Is it worth building into a 701? (a speed increase would make it worth
it)

I wonder if the simplest thing might be to simply block off the lower
opening (that you added) at certain temperatures. Just something you would
do before takeoff, depending upon temperature.
