I attached the top of the cowl on my -7A per plans using the curved hinge.
During flight, I've noticed that it bellies up a bit. I know that some builders have chosen to install 1/4 turn fasteners along the top of the cowl.
If you attached your cowl as I did, have you made any attempt to seal the apparent air leakage at the top aft edge? If so, how? Did you notice any "good" results from doing so, such as cooler CHTs or maybe less drag from more airflow coming out the bottom of the cowl?
Thanks,
Mike
