KUDOS TO RON SMITH @ ALL PRO COMPOSITES

[EDMO 1078]

3 or 4 weeks ago I ordered a boot cowl from Ron - He said he had to find, clean, the molds and make the parts - He told me yesterday that he is ready to ship - Now just got to wait for the Greyhound bus to arrive.

Thanks Ron,

EDMO

This Boot Cowl is for the Avid Magnum - I will post some photos when I fit it, as I know it will have to be cut to fit Foxy - Probably going to use Adels and Rivnuts to mount it.

I really wish I had a complete Magnum cowl set to test fit on my A+.

If you want to drive for a good 2 days I think I know where you could find one...

 

Oh, wait. It is only a partial

Maybe the Magnum boot with a modified KF 5/6 for Rotax upper and lower.

Doug,

I will be trying to mate it to the Kitfox smooth cowl - But yours will probably be finished and flying before I get back to my fuselage.

I'm working to get struts, flaps, ailerons built.

I've got parking for a motorhome in the back driveway - Just "Come on down!"

But you're using a KF-4 'smooth' cowl set, right Ed? My A+ fuse is quite a bit wider than your Foxy fuse. Either way, if the Magnum fuse and boot is wider than both, it would be easy enough to split the boot for the perfect width.

I really don't know what cowl I have, but think it is a KF5 continental (maybe 912?) since I got the Speedster tips with it.

I could post some measurements and maybe you can tell me what it is.

Yes, the Magnum is a LOT bigger than ours - I plan on lots of cutting, or overlapping.

I think the Magnum floor is 36" wide compared to my 32"?

Maybe I can post a photo or three, and you can get them enlarged and work some sort of ideas?

EdMO

I think my soob is 24" from flat firewall to just shy of prop flange.
