This is the message Rick Holland has been trying to send to the list.I have cutout my "cardboard cowling", as shown on the famous Mike Cuy video (see attached), ready to order some more aluminum sheet, and have a couple questions.First, far behind the firewall does the back edge of your cowling go (overlap)?Second, how large of an opening did you leave at the bottom of cowling (if any) for hot air to escape?Third, as far as alternative paint for aluminum, I know PolyFiber or Randolph aircraft paint is the best way to go but I a Latex kind of guy (which is what I am painting the fabric with). Has anyone had any luck painting a cowling with something besides aircraft or two part epoxy paint? Spray on Latex?Thanks Rick-- Rick HollandCastle Rock, Colorado -- Rick HollandCastle Rock, Colorado ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Rick Hollands Cowling Questions
