Hi, repairing an RV-3...
a few questions on the cowl for the RV-3
a few questions on the cowl for the RV-3
- Is there a pre-made oil door for the cowl? Will the RV-4 part work?
- The cowl seems shockingly long. I have the spool in place (4" I believe), and the spinner backplate on that, and it looks like I need to cut 4 to 5 inches off the aft of the cowl!* This is an older gel-coat cowl.
- The cowl seems to interfere with the dipstick. The dipstick is actually holding the cowl up 1/4" or so. And I do have the front properly spaced up off the engine so as to align*with the spinner, and the aft is laying on the boot cowl.
