I'm going to order some upper and lower intersection fairings. Bob at Fairings etc asked me to make a measurement of the cowl contour as per the diagram shown below, to determine the "type" of nosegear intersection fairing I need.
The problem is, I've moved my lower cowl out to the hangar, and don't plan to be out there again till next month. In any case, it will be pain to haul the cowl back just for this measurement.
Question - aren't vans' cowls pretty standard? Shouldn't it be pretty clear what "type" I'll need? My memory/instict tells me that contour is flat and it would be a type 1...
Thoughts?
