I too have made a cowl flap although it is for a Jabiru 3300 and Jab
cowl. The Bowden cable from the panel moves a lever/wheel that pushes
the flap down and a spring (from a rat trap) causes it to rise. The
cable/lever do not need to be disconnected when removing the lower
cowling. (I copied that idea from a Brit, sorry I don't remember the
name.) Photos are available.

Thank you Jim,
I would love to see those pictures as that is exactly what I am
planning. The
big question I have is how to route and anchor the control cable. If you
could send me pictures off line, I'd appreciate it.
thanks,
Dave
