 Posted: Mon Jan 27, 2014 9:54 pm Post subject: Lower Cowl Mold |
 |
|
Hi all,
I've recently just finished making the lower cowl mold for the XP. This was based off the original cowl which was reworked because of damage and turned into a suitable plug. The original part was not going to be airworthy (from our standpoint) due to the amount of oil soak it had in it. If anyone is looking for a new lower cowl, let me know. Below are pics of the plug and the new mold.

Very nice! How much are you asking for a lower cowl? I am building with a normal style focal engine mount so the cowl will not be structural.
Does anyone have a mold for the upper also? I need both.
Regards,
Matt.

I don't have pricing as of yet. These parts can be done in one of two ways, either prepreg or resin infused. The one I'm doing for this plane will be resin infused. I'm waiting on pricing for the foam from another company, which is the least cost of the expenses. Other options are glass versus carbon. Prepreg versions would more than likely use honeycomb core. Infused versions will use only the same thickness core as original, but of higher quality.
Note that the return flanges can be removed for those not wanting to do the triangular return flange of the cowl and opting for a standard joggle for using camlocks. The joggle itself would have to be a layup performed against the upper cowl.

There was also initial discussion of using the existing upper cowl to make a plug and mold, but we'd rather not mess with the finished paint already on it per the customer. If anyone has one that we could utilize that's in perfect shape and would like to offer its use as a plug and returned afterward, we could do this.
