Guys
I am now installing the engine cowlings, and everything is going fine.
(Well, except that the Van's manual say you have to drill the fiberglass edges to the cowling hinges in a distance of 5/16" from the outside edge, and I'm glad I only made 2 holes and checked, and in the smallest bootom hinges, because I had drilled the hinge eylets... They should had put 5/8" instead of 5/16)
So, everything is going fine but I couldn't find any indication in the manual which tell us how is the procedure to open the top cowl, when the installation is complete.
Therefore, please forgive the dumb question but: how do you open the top cowl in a RV-10? Or more specifically, how do you get out the pins of the upper hinges of the top cowl?
Regards
Carlos
