What a lousey pic. worst in the bunch.

Ed. you are right the duct is for oil cooling, but as of wednesday it does
not exist, I glassed it over, I had been flying with duct tape over it. I
had not painted the canopy because I had not finished sanding fibre glass
at front of canopy and was in to much of a hurry to fly as winter was
approaching . Now that my gear box is out of town I have finished this
fairing, cowl and installed leg and wheel fairings. I shall not paint canopy
until I fly again and make the intersect fairings for gear legs, then I'll
paint the lot, certainly before Osh.
You may have noticed a ring on the cowl behind spinner I had to add this to
cowl as my engine ended up with a 2 1/2" gap between the cowl & spinner, I
guess you could say my engine is 2 1/2" further forwards than yours. I did
not use a bed type mount but mounted it from 4 points a la Lycosaurus. It
sure made for a great weight & balance.
BTW are you going to Osh. or are you to busy retiring.
