<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Lancair Builders' Mail List >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >> Ian, Our first cowling hinges were placed on McBrayer's IVP based in Seattle. That plane won first at Arlington and third at Oshkosh as I recall. Those hinges were glass rather than graphite and bench cure resin was used. The airplane must have more than 600 hours on it by now and, as of about a year ago, the owners said they were still pleased with the hinges. I don't have pictures unfortunately, but I will continue to try to get some, as there must be a minimum of 20 or 30 customers who have purchased Carbinge for that purpose. Our hinges are all graphite now and are made with prepreg. Take a look at my website for pictures of the hinges and of various applications as well as data on how to apply the hinges. Also, you've stimulated me to work harder to get pictures and advice from customers for more detailed instructions. I'm building a IVP and am waiting for my EPS V8 engine before I do the cowling, so I don't have first-hand experience yet. Regards...
