[rebel-builders] Engine cowling
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 4:01 pm
Yes, isn't that a great looking cowl!!... And you get it from MAM.
There will be many here that will try to talk you out of using that cowl, if
you look through the archives. But despite the fact that I hate fiberglass,
I am about to go through all that again, when I install my new engine.
Actually, Bruce Georgen, not sure if he is still on the list now, and he
used to have some pics, but I think he has the best installation of MAM's
fiberglass cowl that I have seen. He actually has four big doors on his, all
hinged to that centre hinge pin, for easy access to his engine, without
having to remove the whole cowl. And he did it without losing all those nice
curves... I think I might try that with my new one.

In the user group under 'rebel/files/float installations" there's a pic at
the bottom labeled "float steps.howard"
Is that a Murphy cowling or some aftermarket company? I like it a lot!
Very streamlined and slick-looking. Anyone know anything?
BTW, I put trailing edges on all four ailerons today. Ready for the next
step. Thanks to all who chimed in regarding the leading edge height.
When my wife and I built our house and shop, there were definitely good days
and bad ones. On the good ones you saw a visual difference or finished
something. On the bad ones you either redid something, broke something, or
spent money you didn't expect to. I have a feeling that building our rebel
will be very similar.
This was a good day. :-) Craig R207
