I found a local
glass shop in the Austin area that is making RV fairings and F1 Rocket parts.
Extreme Composites. I spoke with the owner Jim this morning and he is willing to
work with us to develop a RV10 cowl. The RV10 engine mount is being made in
house by Vans. I will try to purchase an engine mount frame without the lyc
hardware next week when Darrel returns from SNF. I have planned to build a FWF
mockup on a trailer for fitting and engine testing before final install in the
aircraft. So...... I would be able to take the mockup to his shop for proper
fitting. The engine mount will be designed to use Custom Concepts mounting
plate. Fred will be designing the mount so he will have one for both the 13 and
20B's with correct CG. The cowl could be made long enough to use with the 13B
and could be trimmed to fit a 20B installation. The Renesis will have to be
moved forward between 2 and 4 inches in the RV10 with dual batteries on the
firewall.
I also have an email
into James Aircraft to see if the front half of their RV6
rotary cowl could be mated to the back half of the new RV10 Lyc cowl them are
making. They needed five order for a new design so this might be a viable
alternative to a complete new cowl.
