Question.
I’ve noticed in the last couple hours of flight time, at cruise speed my cowling in my -4 is being sucked in 1/2 an inch or more. I initially thought that my cowling may just need to be reinforced, but someone just recently mentioned airflow as a culprit.
I have no heating issues in my 0-320. Oil and CHT are always good (right where you want them). I have a carburetor. I would have thought that pressure/vacuum issues would cause some difficult situations with my carb, and that has never been an issue. I do not have a pentium.
Thoughts?
