I am thinking of replacing my very old RV6 Polyester cowling (never fitted) with a new style epoxy cowling ? Question I have is this.
As I intend to fit a IO360M1B ? With an internal vertical plenum - My old Polyester cowling has a smooth bottom half ?
Now the thing is, I can get a good deal on a new epoxy cowling ? but it has the bottom air intake scoop.
Any reason why I cannot just cut of the bottom air intake and patch in a section ?
Is the general shape of the cowling the same ? or will I run into problems with the front section of the epoxy cowling with the bottom air scoop fitted, being to shallow to allow the internal plenum to be fitted ..
Hence further hacking into the bottom cowling would be required ?.
Any thoughts or advice on this would be appreciated ?
