"Check Oil" door in Moose Cowl ?
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 10:10 am
Folks,
To check my oil, I have to undo 19 camlocs and open up the side of my
cowl. Of course, I only do this about every three flight hours or so,
hence it isn't that big of a deal. I'm thinking of making a "small"
access door in the top of the cowl to allow me to just check the oil.
Pros: - Easily check oil as often as I like
- Reduces repeated wear on the camlocs, which, of course,
eventually start to come loose and wear through the fiberglass
Cons: Aren't opening up the cowl to give the engine & related components
a brief visual
Suggestions? What are other folks doing?
