Paul,
         Here is the Limo with upper and lower
cowls. Need to fit both
     and hinge
         the top.

     Speaking of cowls, I've finished the station
buck and got the english
     wheel to build the cowl for my RV-4. If it
turns out ok, I'll offer to
     build them for RV-4 owners, as long as they are
using 16 inch spinners.

Brian,

Are you a long time English wheeler?  What kind of
equipment do you have?


Thanks,

Matt-

I've made one other engine cowl for my plane with the
wheel. It was for a 14 inch diameter spinner. I
thought it was a bit heavy, it was made from .063
6061. Then I figured that I'd need a 16 inch spinner.
So, I made another station buck and will use .050 6061
for this cowl. The first cowl was made on a wheel
owned by a guy down about 50 miles south of me. I just
bought an english wheel at Harbor Freight, it works
pretty well, but needs bit of finish work on the
anvils.

When I get done with this cowl, I'll consider making
more cowls if I think this one is up to snuff.
