"4) Cowlings
- do not make those little oil/water check doors - so you have to take whol
e
upper cowling away and see and check same time much much more (weight
penalty none, use cam locks or equal - so it is pleasure to open so often
you like - I do it every 5 flight hrs)
I have Southco fasteners on my cowl. They are a lot of work to fit but do
make removing the cowl a lot easier. I still think you need the oil/water
check doors for doing the daily =93A=94 check."
.... or maybe use the piano hinge method, with a removable hing rod on eac
h
side (a-la RV's)? Leaving just the top with fasteners.
Cheers,
