RE 8 Cowling Panels

Hi
Anyone out there know how the engine panels actually fitted together?
Seems to be a small one at the prop end. Could this one be left on
and the port and starboard ones be removed separately? Any
information would be most gratefully recieved.

Cheers

Dave

Hi Binklebaum
Have a look at the various photos of the TVAL RE8 in Jamo_kiwi's Photobucket album. It seems to me that they overlap in such a way that the nose panel would have to be first to be removed.

Hi Dave,

This is of the TVAL RE8 in the AHC and confirms windsocks thoughts:
