For you that have your planes flying, did you put a plate in on the lower cowl to cover the gear leg slot forward of the gear leg or do you just leave it open?

Thanks.
First 9 hours I had a plate installed. Â I do a few hours without it and see if there is any difference.

I added one last year. Not sure what to think on temps....they may actually be higher now, but I need more time with it to tell.

One point I have read is that for ideal air cooling, (high flow, low drag), the bottom of the firewall should be well rounded - rather than leaving the firewall flange sticking forward into the airflow. I have only found one inconclusive reference to this idea in the RV-10 archive, but some discussion of it in reference to RV.6 on VAF and a great photo:

It would seem fairly simple to attach a curved fairing while riveting the firewall flange. Has anyone tried this on the -10 and got some numbers to prove or disprove the theory?

I tried taping it up with aluminum tape. I didn't see any difference in temp and decided not to build a plate. This is with a slot that I have lengthened by 2 1/4 inches beyond stock to ease installation of the bottom cowl.
