I have built my RV6A around a Hartzell HC-C2YK-1BF that came with my engine off a Husky. Cowling is fit and painted. AD hit my prop, so I splurged and ordered the Whirlwind 74RV based on excellent past experience with the WW200 series on an RV7.
Installed prop and went to cowl up and both the upper and lower cowl impact the angled backplate and are wedged against the rear of the spinner.
Thoughts? Anyone else changed out a Hartzell for a WW and had issues with spacing. I sure hope I don't have to trim the cowl now that all the hinges are on and had nice spacing with the Hartzell club. [email protected]
