Hi, fellow rotary enthusiasts....I just received an e-mail on the
canardian's site, and there is a fiberblass cowling, wheelpants,
intake,
etc. manufacturer that has cowlings for an RV aircraft with a rotary
engine.
This might be old news to many of you RV builders, but if it helps
just one
person, it was worth the effort. Hope this is useful info.  The site is
www.jamesaircraft.com/Our_Products.html

Paul,
The cowling pictured at www.jamesaircraft.com/Our_Products.html is a
cowl for and RV-8. It is a cowling we had them make for our customers.
As you can see it is a big departure from the previous cowls we have
tested, and this one is the final solution to our cooling issues. Also
currently being mocked up is a cowl for RV-6/7s. The RV-6/7 cowl will
look the same, and will be modified for a GlaStar also. Anyone who is
interested in one of these cowls should contact me and I will get them
all the information they need and help them order.

It is important to note that the opening is at a height suitable for
the Powersport PSRU. These cowls are available for purchase - but only
through Powersport.

Is the thrust line in the proper place for a Van's RV8?
What is the length from firewall to prop flange?
That is all that really matters.

Is it designed to mount the rad vertically behind the engine
or can the rad be mounted under the engine? If so under the engine
how does the air get out of the rad? 

Do we get a cheaper price ordering it through you or direct from
www.jamesaircraft.com/Our_Products.html ?
