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.

Extending the engine out really changes the situation.  Nice work and
original too.  Jerry

 
BTW the Newsletter will be shut down tonight for about a week.
Don't send messages as they will fill my earthlink mail box and they maybe
lost forever.
