Subject: [FlyRotary] extending cowling
Hi, Rusty....I agree with what Bernie had to offer. I have found that by just covering the aluminum piece with duct tape prior to clecoing it on works great. Duct tape is a wonderful release agent. Paul Conner
Rusty (trying to figure out the best way to extend the rear edge of my cowling about .75")
----------------------------------
Rusty, you might consider clecoing a temporary .025 aluminum extension flush with the outside and extending it aft. Wax it before installing it. Scarf the aft edge of current cowling so that the outside TE stays but remove some material forward and inward. Now lay glass up to current cowl thickness. Grind off the excess layup on the inside forward to make a smooth inside surface. Now lay glass aft edge to several inches forward. Maybe some of the composite airframers have a better idea, but believe this would work.
Bernie, hope to run snorkle tomorrow.
