operational cowl flaps made easy
This is in my build thread as well, but I thought I would post it here by itself. This is sooooo simple, I can't believe it escaped me all these years. I'm pumped, so I want to share this in it's own thread so it is easy to find. A friend, Wayne Fossil (Solo Props) showed me this, and this is my first try at it.
I broke it down into 12 steps. I'll have (4) posts total.
Here we go.
1. mark the location of each flap on the main cowl
2. carefully cut the entire flap section off leaving them attached to each other for now
3. mark and notch each hinge into the cowl ring (make sure each hinge slides in and out freely without pushing the cowl away from the ring
