Here's a side view of the engine/rad/cowl flap. The cowl flap can close up to a 2" slot. The perspective distorts the relationship of air inlet to the rad a little bit. The flap will actually open
that far, at least on the ground, so that I can drain the fuel filter/moisture separator, drain the oil and change the oil filter without taking the whole cowl off. Don't think I'll try to use it as
a speed brake.
