Pre-War cowlings

Post by Rafael »

Well as everything in my plane the cowlings are a complete disaster. Does anyone have the original sep up for a 50C/65C?. I need to know how the cowlings right after the nose bowl are. Does anyone have pics? extra ones that I can use to make templates, anything?

Rafael,

I have a pre-war with a rather beat-up cowling. I plan on having a new one fabricated as soon as I get caught up from paying for the top OH.

I'm also looking for any help on engine baffling -- my airplane has none.
