Builders/flyers,
Any of you flying RV-10 guys with a 3 blade prop know the issues of lower cowl removal and reinstallation. Has anyone come up with a great solution to minimizing the damage to the prop as the cowl is lowered.
We currently lower the cowl then rotate it slightly to drop under the pax. side blade then slowly lower it further. This is now possible because there is no nose GEAR fairing installed. This does not seem to be the long term solution for ease of maintenance.
Under consideration is making the entire air filter inlet removable...
Please share any brilliant ideas.
RV-10 N10HW soon to be airborne.
