We used a flat aluminum extruded hinge and put it on the under side if the cowl and the flap.  We used simple Dzus fasteners to hold it down.

 Can any one who has used the comlet molded cowls for a Rotax engined XL tell me what they did to hinge and fit a catch for the oil filler flap.

 The cowl only comes with a prepared hole, i have made a aluminium flap but cannot find a hing or catch suitable.

 

 Thanks

Hi Kevin



'Good to hear from you again! It sounds like you are making good 

progress--I wish I could say the same. I'm moving slowly, but, at least, 

I'm moving.



I'm sure there are many solutions to this. You might take a look at Larry 

McFarland's approach



http://macsmachine.com/



Click the Cowling link, and you'll find some photos that pretty clearly 

show what Larry did. There are other approaches using hinges that appear to 

be similar to invisible cabinet hinges.



I'll also attach a couple of photos that I took at Zenair's Open Hangar 

Days 2007. They do not show the mechanism, but both appear to use simple 

piano hinges and Dzus type fasteners for the closure. 'Sorry, but I do not 

know who owned those 601's.
