What is the preferred method of attaching the F/G cowls to the fuse? I would use aluminum "L" brackets and with other aircraft I have F/G'd the "L" bracket to the cowl and used long hex drivers to access the screws to attach it to the fuse. This has not always been successful nor easy to accomplish. Other than that I could run screws through the cowl and into the already attached "L" brackets, but then unsightly screw heads would show on my soon-to-be pristine cowl! I'd appreciate any suggestions. Stickbuilder, how did you attach that gorgeous cowl you have labored on for so long? No screw heads showing on that I'll bet
Have you looked at the plywood cowl ring, Great Planes uses them on some of their ( sorry to use this, ARF's ) I have two and it seems to work pretty well. However it is sometimes difficult to access the socket head cap screws through the front of the cowl. A extra long ball end allen wrench is the tool used.
