<<When in flight, the bottom of my cowling is compressed upwards by about 1.5" to 2". Make sure you do not have anything that this compression could effect.>>
Wow! Lorn, you're talking about the back section of the scoop deforming upwards, I hope? I mean, you're not suggesting that the front of the cowling elevates 1.5 inches relative to the spinner?
I can see how the scoop might deform near the back -- I just pushed on mine with my hand and it deformed almost an inch. But I can't seem to make it move significantly near the front.
Please let us know if that's what you meant.
