Members,
access to our engine cowling is by removing a small 2 inch pin on both the left and right of the cowling, and the by removing the upper pin accessed through the oil inspection door.
I have not done this yet, nor have I had it demo'd to me.
I was told that the cowling is typically only removed when doing oil changes (every 50 hours for us).
It is odd for me to not inspect under the cowling (Beechcraft Debonair 1966) as I do on my other airplane during every preflight.
Is this common practice in the RV-6 world?
