I have read just about all I can get on the issues surrounding bottom cowl removal with 3 blade prop, and there are many postings about this topic. I know about lengthening the nose gear slot, installing a removable intake snorkel as with the Rod Bower design, cutting the bottom cowl rear and inward areas around the prop flange. I can easily remove my lower cowl alone with the 2-blade prop. The questions I am specifically looking for that were not answered in the threads:
1. With the extended nose gear slot in the lower cowl, does the lower cowl come off as easily as with 2-blade prop? Is it a one person job?
2. How easy is it to remove the lower cowl with the Rod Bower removable intake snout type modification? Like with a 2-blade prop? One person?
Maybe all the mods still makes removal difficult??
Thanks.
