Posted 10 Jan 2021 Anyone have any leads on a correct cowl for a Jabiru 2200 mounted on a MKIV? I am not opposed to working from a Nose Cowl and build back with aluminum. Suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Jan 2021 I used a nose bowl on my Q2 when I put aJabiru 3300 in it and then finished with fiberglass. Worked out ok I think but if I had it to do over I would just scratch build it with fiberglass. Do you have the MK IV cowl, seems like that would work. Do you have the air duct/ plenums for the cylinders, they work great. I don't know if John is still around he may have some thoughts and of course Jim C 2 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 11 Jan 2021 Jabiru sold them, I don't know if they still do but I would nut be surprised if they do, they fit the plenums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 2 Feb 2021 (edited) No, sorry that was 20+ yrs ago and so would not relate to now anyway. If I were doing it today knowing what I know, I would just sculpt the whole cowl from scratch. I’ve built a couple of cowls since and it is probably easier without the bowl but the bowl does fit the plenum with a fair amount of fiddling to get it placed. 6 x6 overall. At any rate it will be a fun project. PS I am talking about a FG COWL. If you are stuck on using metal, the nose bowl make since.
