| this will make an aesthetic improvement, but since Van's plans don't make any provision for these covers, I'm wondering what |
|
| effect it will have on cooling. i.e. am I restricting the amount of air that can exit the cowl to only that portion that surrounds the |
|
| exhaust pipes???? The depth of this area seems to be 3/4" deeper than the Van's cowl, but Van's also has some lovers cut into |
|
| the bottom of the cowl to facilitate exit air. I suspect it's necessary because of the extremely large intake openings, with th |
|
| eJames cowl the intake areas are smaller so i'm hoping to get away with a smaller exit area. I guess this is something I'll have to |
|
| monitor during Phase 1. I inserted the intake rings in the upper cowl and applied some flox mixture to fill some of the small |
|
| voids/pits that surround it. then layed up a single layer of fibergalss over the rivet lines on the lower cowl. |
