| This Pitts has the cowling that I like the best. It consist of a upper and lower cowling halves as opposed to the type that have a separate nose bowl and the flip up sides. The advantage of this type of cowl is that it is more aerodynamic but is more difficult to open for a quick engine inspection. The other type of nose bowl with the flip up sides allows a very easy access to the engine but appears to have more drag and doesn't have the real nice lines as the cowling shown here. |
