REFLECTOR: Canard Cover and cowl attachment system

[Alex Balic]

Hey Chuck-
 Great pictures/idea with the hinges- thanks for them- will do the same
on my cowl- one semi-related question- seems like the ducts from your
top NACAs are mounted directly to the firewall- assume that they are
mounted directly to the engine also- is there some sort of flex duct in
between? I don't have exactly that setup with my Subaru, but I am
ducting the right side NACA to my turbo intercooler, which mounts
directly to the engine, and needed some sort of flex connection to the
NACA.
 
 
Hope you enjoy Arlington!
 
Alex

Here are the pictures I promised of the piano hinge cowl attachment
system, including the receiver grooves, plus the canard & gear door
system. There's some measurements and some tricks to do this, so send me
an email for details, if you're serious about doing it. 
 
These pictures were taken today at the Arlington Air Show here in WA.
Some interesting new stuff at the show, like MT's new aluminum CS prop
for $6,300 (not incl spinner and prop gov) for tractors only, and
without any rpm restrictions. Also Aero Composites now makes a carbon
fiber constant speed prop that looks really nice and is lighter than an
MT, but costs $10K, and is okay for pushers (incl 200 hp IO-360 Lyco's
and the big sixes)
