Dennis,
I'm building an RV-6 - cowling and eng mounts about same as -7? I ordered
"blank" cowling direct from Van's cowling vendor and the engine mount direct
from Van's engine mount vendor. Both were very nice to work with.
- The "blank" cowling shipped in the Finish Kit with the canopy, std,
no legal problems, because it was still a "Van's" cowling. Not so with
engine mount - had to come shipped direct, not pass thru Van's.
Cowling had no hole for induction air in lower center of cowling - I plan to
cut my own hole and install a "theoretically perfect" duct down there to
feed my two GM A/C cores/radiators and oil cooler under the rotary engine.
I think the two cooling air holes (for Lyc) either side of the prop shaft
hole are also "blank" (no hole). I'll have to clean up that area a bit as I
think there is a depression there.
I have phone numbers and names if you are interested off list.
