Brief Description: installed prop and skullcap spinner
I've decided that the next big thing I need to work on is the cowl, and that brings a whole lot of planning requirements into sharp focus. This Revmaster engine is different enough from Dave's original VW that my cowl is going to have to be different too. The Revmaster carb and alternate air source setup make me worry about clearance between the prop and the air cleaner. Plus the oil cooler is in a different place and may make it necessary to provide dedicated air inlets just to supply the oil cooler with enough airflow. Another curveball is that the 12" spinner called for in the plans is no longer available. Since the plans call for the top of the cowl to follow the lines of that spinner, I am going to have to make adjustments for that.To help with my planning I decided to mount an old propeller I had laying around, just to show where the prop circle is so I can make sure the air filter is clear of that. Lots to think about.
