 Posted: Fri Jun 06, 2008 6:43 pm Post subject: Engine cowling placement |
 |
|
I just got my O-235 hanging on the 601XL. Today I laid the top cowling on the engine and I am puzzled about the exact placement. If I lay it so that the rear edge of the cowling is even with the rear of the top flange on the firewall the front roll of the opening clears the flywheel about 1/2 an inch. Is that the correct placement or is that too far back. Assuming that is the correct placement, would I put my cowling fasteners (haven't picked them out yet, but would appreciate any recommendations) through the firewall flange or put them in front of the FW through the skin(s).
Thanks in advance.

I don't know about the O-235 cowling but with the Jabiru 3300 cowling there
is excess at the rear of the top and bottom cowls which is trimmed off after
fitting the front of the cowls to the prop flange.

On my 3300A FWF from Jabiru Pacific required absolutely no trimming.

OK but here is a shot of Jim from Jabiru Pacific trimming a cowl at the FWF
class at Quality Sport Planes. He seemed to treat it as standard operating
procedure.
