You might think about making that plywood ring wider, so it can be used to mount the cowl with screws. Typical of most FW 190 cowl mounting.

Chris Nicastro 04-22-2015 03:25 PM

In the Top Flite GS Corsair I redesigned the cowl mount so there are 4 longitudinal threaded studs in the firewall and the cowl ring is attached there. The cowl itself is attached to the cowl ring radially with small external screws in small hard wood blocks. This way the cowl flaps are part of the cowl ring independent of the cowl. You can remove them together or one at a time. I made the cowl flaps work on the ring too.
Turned out pretty slick and saved the cowl from the vibrations the single cylinder engine puts out. I had the cowl come loose in flight twice before I redesigned its mount. Operating Cowl flaps is another story...

Yes, that's was my idea for the wood ring , I hope to be for more easy fixet for the fuselage

Here is the work on plug and mold for vacoom forming

Hi Rumen,

That's a very gracious offer..... Please don't spend your valuable time making a special bit for me. The D9 as shown is what I would like and I can add the stick myself.

A "stick" plane is used as a visual aid to show maneuvers by "flying" it like you would when you were a kid. I like to keep one in my car so that when we are at the field and describing maneuvers to others we can see the angles and shapes of the maneuvers.

The best example is try flying single file with friends and tell them each to do a barrel roll as they pass the flight stands. You'll get as many different styles of rolls as you have flyers....

Then show them the shape and style of roll you want by using the little practice stick plane and suddenly they will start to look much more uniform.

You see stick planes for the 3D guys, and if you really search you'll see them for a couple of jets. But the Warbird guys have to make their own.

Here's an example.

I'd like to PayPal you something. Your time is valuable and the little D9's are way cool !!!

Joe

If you are really ambitious you could create some like this !! :D
