Hoenshell's Build

[HighWing]

I was always challenged with the way the IV cowl fit against the door. they seemed to want to bow out right at the horizontal joint with the overlapping Lexan trying to hold it flat but only when the door is closed. First I added some glass that surrounded the vertical tubing about half way at the forward door opening. Covering the vertical tube with clear packing tape makes a perfect separating medium for the epoxy saturated glass. Then, after helping my friend with the Lancair, I decided to go the piano hinge route between upper and lower cowl as he did. And as a a belt and suspenders thing, I added a Hysoled on tab that the hinge pin could run through to give the totally secured look - door open or closed.

Just some thoughts.
