How the f#(at)%~g hell do you get the bottom half of the cowl on with a 3 blade

prop in place?

 

I gave up in the end and took the prop off but this surely can't be

necessary????????????????????

You need to take the top cowl off first ! But I assume you

have done this !



Actually it is easiest if you remove the exhaust stub. And

be sure you have a blade vertical so that the other two

are equally angled downwards.



And if this doesn't work you will have to relieve

fibreglass until it does ! Taking the prop off every time

you take off the lower cowling is NOT sensible !



HTH, tongue in cheek !

I have modified my lower cowling and I think it is even harder to remove.  I found that having the prop rotated with one blade more down and then the cowl can be slid off to the other side.  Remember the cowling is flexible so don't hesitate to flex it a little. Two people were needed when I first removed it.  Also, I put a towel or blanket over the nose gear to protect the paint job. 



Hope this helps.
