What cowl for your Avid Flyer with RX1 engine

Guess the title says it all.  I'm wondering what those who have installed an RX1 Yamaha engine in their Avid Flyer are using for a cowl.  Looks like the engine sits fairly high....  JImChuk

Yeah the rx1 engine sits high because the prop flange on the short 2-gear c box is low.

The apex prop flange is 2 or 3 inches higher because of the 3-gear gearbox, so you can mount the motor much lower.

 

I needed to go with that round KF cowl to get it tucked in.
