Hi Mark I reckon I'm interested in those cowls from WW. They look good. Do you know of critical dimensions:
- distance from firewall to front plate - thrust line below top longeron. I presume the firewall is stock RR plus a bit below for air exit per your design. I'll chat to WW about cost but freight out here is a real killer at present.

This plug started out life as my cowling on Bill Clapps' plane, so it was already pretty straight. Straight not because it was my cowling (NOT), but because Bill is a body man and put 10 pounds of filler on my cowling shape to make his very nice one. Bill then added one of WW's Corvair nosebowls and blended it in to "my" cowling, and this cowling is the result. The Molds are made by an expert who usually makes composite helicoper parts. It's top quality. There are a couple of photos at > http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/corvair/05072013m.jpg and > http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/corvair/05072015m.jpg . > It's designed to use a Van's 13" RV spinner, which WW will true up for you on a fixture for a fee if you'll ship it to him. The cowling has an extra inch or two in all directions, so it'll actually work with a slightly longer prop hub than his, if you're that brave. Total weight is about 10.5 pounds. I don't know that he has decided on a price yet, but it sure helps if you're putting a Corvair on a KR. Molds are made and he can ship them almost immediately... > > Mark Langford, Huntsville, Alabama > see KR2S project N56ML at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford > email to N56ML "at" hiwaay.net > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > _______________________________________ > Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp > to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net > please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
