I'm a long way from my engine cowling, but I've always liked the idea that some older (and a few newer) planes have of an engine cowling that can be easily opened to look over the engine on pre-flight. It's my understanding that RVs are not set up this way and the cowling is a bit of a pain to remove - at least for a 30 second look at the engine for obvious problems. Anyone built or know someone who has built such a feature?
