GVINCENT Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 to what I read about with the 190A-8? Is there a good cure for it, if it indeed does exist? Gary Vincent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamb Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Hi Gary, I would say that some squeeze is necessary to make cowling fit the fuselage. Also when installing bottom insert between cowling and wing roots a small gap emerges (however some putty and sanding solves the issue). Except this - no problem wit a kit.

GVINCENT Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 Thanks! I'll be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I had the same experience with my A-5 as Adam. Here is a close up of that "spacer" that defines the A series after the A-4. This was the hardest area to get right, and just like Adam a little filler and carefull sanding was all that was needed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GVINCENT Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 Thanks guys! SO what about the A-8 now? I think it is here somewhere, that SMOTTI(?) is building the A-8 and a couple of people told him there is a problem at the top. Also said was the fuselage needs to be widened for the cowl to fit right. IS that true of the A-8? That's why I had a concern with the A-5. Thanks again!

bsarnoffca Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Hey thanks for the heads up on this guys. I had no idea and just checked my A-5. Looks like it will work out fine with some planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Pratt Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 It's interesting that some guys have had no problem with the fit when myself and others have had a ***** of a time with it.Dry fitting is all a guy can do and hope for the best.I have another A-8 and an A-5 that I would like to do in the near future so we'll see how the fit-thing goes...

Guest Rigor Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 you are right about the A-8 it does need to be widening for the cowl to fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
