Brief Description:  Modified Cowling

Well... let's learn how to do some fiberglass work!! My original cowl was wider than the Savannah firewall, in fact about over 6 inches wider. I never really loved the look but I thought I'd get used to it in exchange for the great cooling I assumed the large gap, or side exits would give me. Now that I know it actually caused reverse air flow and cooling problems, I'm going to narrow the cowling to fit the Savannah for better looks and more importantly, smoother airflow. You can see in the pics that the fiberglass nose bowl creates a significantly wider gap over the engine than needed, and it has a very rounded shape which doesn't blend in well with the Savannah fuselage shape... Let's fix that!
