Another observation on this is that experience is a huge factor as well. With a lot of things, like removing N56ML's forward deck (which has the canopy attached), I went for months thinking it was a two person job to remove that assembly (held on with exactly two piano hinges a foot long each) because it's so unwieldy. Then I hit on the perfect way to do it, and it then became a one-man job that took 2 minutes flat. Installing the cowling was similar, until I figured out exactly the right order to make it quick and easy. I had the same experience with the Swift...there's an order to it...and N891JF as well. After three months of removing RV cowlings, Larry might come to like it too.
Bottom line is it may not matter. Do what you want...it'll work out fine.... -- Mark Langford ML at N56ML.com http://www.n56ml.com
