Hi Rowland
I will probably be going to the rally Saturday so can see you for a chat.
Those details you mentioned would be most useful . I will also study my xs
cowling as there shouldn't be much difference. The weight after all will b
e the critical consideration. Thank you very much for your reply.
Best wishes
Phil George

Phil - glad to hear you are working with Jag. I promised I would bring some
of the offcut trimmed from the edge from my cowl to the LAA Rally and/or t
he Europa Club dinner so that Jag could see how thick it is. As you say, th
ere will be extra plies in some more high-stressed areas but I can=92t spea
k to that. Would pictures of the inside of the cowl be useful? Enough of th
e layup structure might be visible from the inside (which has no paint or g
el-coat). For instance, have a look at:
http://www.rowlandcarson.org.uk/aviation/europa_435/cowl_assemble_a.php
where although the angle is not ideal, I can see several places where an ex
tra layer or layers has been incorporated. If it helps, I can take better p
ictures next time I have the cowl off.
in friendship
Rowland
