RV-3 cowl drawing

Depends ...

on what you mean by "dimensions"?

There is no dimensioned drawing for the cowling - the only place it is shown is on a couple of scaled side views - if the scaling is accurate, some (near) dimensions might be recovered there.

Otherwise?

Van's has an RV-3 plans thumb drive, which does not contain cowl drawings but does contain the firewall drawing, and perhaps that might assist you.

Otherwise I think the answer is "42," and thanks to Douglas Adams for that bit of wisdom.

Just looking for basic dimensions. Firewall attach, length from firewall to spinner matting surface, and overall width across the cylinders.

I put a tape measure over mine and came up with 36" wide across the cowl (mid engine). Length at 34 1/4" to the front face (Lyc 0320 dynafocal & 4" prop spacer). Firewall width at 25"
