The engine is done, the panel is done, and the plane is primed and "almost ready to go". Other than some firewall forward plumbing and interior work, I should only be a few weeks from flying (I am always optimistic...). However, a MAJOR holdup is the fact that I don't have a cowl. I placed an order for the cowl with Lancair back on March 31. I still don't have anything but excuses... not in the last two shipments, don't know what's happening... Vern is nice and all, but the fact remains that it has been almost 4 months, and it is starting to look like that will be the delay for a first flight. Or can you fly one of these things without a cowl? Is it really necessary?!? Or is it just cosmetic? Those cabbies in NYC drive with the hood open on their cars, this is about the same thing, so I should be okay, right? Does anyone out there have a long 320/360 cowl sitting in the garage, waiting to be installed? Want to monetize the cowl? Or swap my future delivery for yours? Houston, TX area would be a bonus...
