Cowl differences
Other than the color, is there any differences in the cowls between the natural cowl and the pink variety.
Just wondering if there is any significant weight difference.

I think they are made by different people on different molds. I doubt there is much of a weight difference.

The girls make the pink ones. They're not heavier, but it's harder to make their mouths stay closed.

That came out kinda mean. I should have said "they're not heavier, they just obsess about it more".

Typically the pink ones are lighter when first installed on the aircraft, but gain weight over time. They are more expensive and require more maintenance!

Same company, same molds, different material supplier.
