I have not fabricated the engine mount for my experimental project yet but in looking at other projects where people have lowered the engine mount it looks like everyone has built a custom fiberglass/Kevlar/carbon fiber cowling (Wayne Mackey and others). I am not a guy who has any idea how to do much in the way of fiberglass work beyond patching boats so I would like to avoid the pain of making a fiberglass cowling.
The question is whether one can use a standard piper nose bowl and still have a nice cowling constructed roughly the way piper did it while still using the lowered mount. I would like to have the visibility if at all possible but I really do not want to make a fiberglass cowling. Thanks for any input and ideas.
