Has anyone on the list purchased and installed the Jabiru USA 701 FWF Kit?



I am at the point of fitting my cowl and it looks like I am going to have to

cut a bunch off the back of the lower cowl, about 7 inches.  Also the

opening in the lower cowl for the oil cooler ends up just at the back of the

muffler, not anywhere near the oil cooler.  The carb air inlet falls up

against one of the engine mounts.  The flared opening, in the cowl bottom,

will be greatly reduced in size, about 1/2 the original.



Would like to chat with someone who has done this part of the install

successfully.



Thanks,



George

I don't have the Jabiru but with my Rotax firewall forward, I had to cut 

out a fairly large area out of the lower cowl to fit around the front 

landing gear.  I have also had to go back and cut more off to provide 

for more cooling air.

George,



I follow your project and love the changes you made to the elevator control.  I suspect the the cowl is common to the 2200 and the 3300.  Add the length of the extra cylinders and see if that is about what needs to be removed.  



I live in the Northern Lower near Traverse City, and would love to stop by sometime and see your project.



Best regards,

George,



I built my cowl using Jabiru supplied nose bowls.  The rest is .016 

aluminum.
