ORIGINAL: Tseres

Now for the thumbs down.[sm=thumbs_down.gif] The fit of the cowl wasn't very good. The two tabs sticking out so you can mount the bottom screws from the out side, was holding the cowl from fitting on properly. Because I don't like to mount cowls from the outside I decided to redesign it. I cut the two tabs off and made two new ones that I added on to the cowl ring with Epoxy. This cowl originally had 6 locations to mount the cowl. I'm not going to use two of them the access hole is through the wing opening and you have to take the wing off in order to get to it. I like my life simpler then that. I'm also going to replace the screws with Socket head screws. They are also easier to work with. So my thumbs Down[sm=thumbs_down.gif]became a thumbs up[sm=thumbs_up.gif]. I'm happy again.[sm=teeth_smile.gif]

The engine compartment is already fuel proofed.[sm=thumbs_up.gif]
Nice work.....Just may have to copy your idea on my Goldberg Ultimate. I will have to build a cowl ring though. Might be a fun project.
