  The pictures of bits and pieces are nice but..... Do you have pictures of
the RV6 firewall forward for those of us who didnt get there? I'm
interested in any pics, cowled or uncowled, but particularly uncowled as
I'd like to see installation details. Not enough on their website.

Thanks,

Sorry Mike this is about the best I can do. The lower cowl was on all the 
time I was there. I will be going up in a month to visit so will take more
pictures then. The cooling system is not working very well despite an
obscene sized intake and outlet so I imagine there will be major changes.

It is very hard to pressurize an entire cowling as air leaks out every
where. Even the piano hinges have to be sealed with tape and as of OSH
they have not tried that. A pressurized cowl is the current set up.

It is better to have a small sealed inlet diffuser and let the air find its
way out through the cowling where it wants to. I am sure Power Sport will
soon come to that conclusion. I will upload a picture of the current inlet and 
outlet next.
