 Posted: Mon Jul 31, 2006 8:47 am Post subject: 3 bld prop & lower cowl tip |
 |
|
One of the things that I picked up (at) OSH was a tip from a builder who
had installed a 3 bld on their RV-10. Attached is a link to a photo I
took of his installation, I made a removable plate (at) the bottom of the
induction air intake. In talking to him he said this helped but if he
had it to do over again he would have cut the entire intake scoop away
from the lower cowl and then attached it with nutplates, etc. I believe
his quote was. the time it would take to do that modification would
still be less than the time it takes to get the lower cowl off w a 3bld.

The pic was taken lying on my back so sorry about the angle

Be careful putting your lower cowl on an off with the MT prop. Wrap
the prop packing cover with duck tape - the piano henges can do some
serious damage. Don't ask me how I know.

My lower cowl front gear leg cut out is several inches longer than called for in the plans because of the problem of getting the lower cowl pass my MT prop. The lower cowl lateral piano hinges can really do a number on a composite blade if not real careful. It helped a lot. May extend it a couple of more inches before painting and fabricating the cover plate that will be attached with nut plates.
