  • Boot Cowling Article


    I just posted another super long article about the Patrol boot cowl - the prequel to the Cowling article . It contains a few details I haven't seen anywhere else. For example how to do the gear leg detail for removable side panels. I also show the panel mod I made to fit a G3X. Hope this is helpful. Feedback, as always, welcome.

    Hello Stefan. Your article will help the guys with older kits for sure. We are now drilling all the boot cowl parts to each other at the kit factory. And are fully trimmed to size. The object was for builders to pull out the sheets/parts and just be able to cleco everything together. Mark
