I'm working on the lower cowl with an air intake for an RV7A (but the question would also be relevant for an RV7).
The lower cowl has a "cranked edge" ( ie. stepped) along the sides and across the front. On the attached photo I have marked the specific cranked edges as A, B, C, and D.
The drawings and instructions are specific on crank A....it gets removed. They are also specific on crank B.....it stays.
But the drawings are not specific on the cranks at faces C and D. Do they get removed or do they stay. I've checked on several RV sites and some people leave the cranks at C and D.... and some people remove them.
I asked Vans but thay are yet to reply (they may not be sure themselves !!!).
Any comments.
