Re: Just what is it about the V Outback?
Okay, maybe it isn't the door. It has to be the engine cowl then. Phi's profile shot really shows how neat that plane looks with that style cowl. If I were more adventuresome, I would use a Lycoming style cowl on my Rotax engine. I like the way it looks. I wasn't about to take on a fiberglass job like others have done to fit a custom cowl.

Yes Eddie you are right about the cowl on the Outback , nice and wide to accomodate the larger in width engines like my Continental IO-240. I always thought from the front they look like a mini Cessna 180-185. Bruce N199CL

Agreed. I always thought the proportions were very nice.
