1.1 COWLING
The engine cowling is gull wing type. The cowling is made up of two parts: the
upper part consists of a fiberglass nose and a light alloy panel while the bottom
part is entirely made of fiberglass.
Cowling top is easily removed by releasing four latches, two on each side.
Removal of lower portion is just as easy by quick release of two side pins and
two latches located on bottom (see fig. D-1).
If any cracks are detected, immediately drill stop holes at crack ends.
Air circulation is provided by front openings in nose section and by an outflow
area on the underside by the firewall.
