I have many times cursed the RV cowling
design. I enlarged the nose gear slot which greatly eases the bottom cowl
removal. the std split elevation leaves little room to do any maintenance
or even inspections. I've envied the bonanza cowl with it's bi-fold door
that let's you get to so much more. while you're at it, redesign the
airbox so the filter can be inspected/changed in less than 2 hours!
after several fiberglass repairs to the ears
that join in air inlet halves, I changed my lower cowl to include the
entire air inlet. it is far stronger and eliminates the piano hinge
stuff. kevin (1000hrs)
