Cowling

Posted by

Quite tricky and time-consuming to get it right. 3 days.

Decided to go with Camlocks all-around rather than Camlocks plus 4 Dzus fasteners in the lower cowling that the kit has. Some rework of fibreglass is needed. KAI is a bit unclear about exactly how many Camlocks to use on the horizontal seam. Looking at completed Slings some have 4 some have 5. I went with 5.

Used a spacer at the prop hub to get the cowling in right place. Even so great care is needed in the trimming, to be sure it ends up in the right place. 3D printed a template for drilling the holes.
