Gary,
I'll order a cowl flap kit from you.
Just spoke with my machinist about the stand-offs. I am going to have those made out of stainless, about the same weight as steel, will look aviation like, and will not need any protective finish.
I'll include 3 for the engine, and 6 for the cowl flaps. I'll have the engine set as a separate item if a guy want to use the stock cowl. He will still need stand-offs and these will already be the correct length, to set the proper thrust angles. I don't want aluminum, because we need the weight anyway.
shims will be included for fine tuning to account for slight variances in building.
What I am seeing so far, the street price on this will be very reasonable. I do want laser cut parts and professionally machined parts. The engine set will be in the 'no brainer' range.
