rmaddy Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Just curious about why the insides of the nose sides are carved the way they are. Why not just leave the inside flat? Is this to provide a little more space inside? Quote Rick Maddy Denver, CO Cozy Mk IV #824 - Chapter 18 http://www.maddyhome.com/cozy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Slade Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Rick, I think that the overall intent is to create an aesthetic scultured shape, both inside and out. There are very few flat surfaces on the Cozy and square sides inside the nose would look pretty weird. Also, you need all the space you can get inside the nose when it comes time to fit the pitot system, static system, brakes cylinders, rudder pedals, nose lift, GPS antenna, Heater radiator, AC Evaporator... Finally, and perhaps most important, curved shapes are stronger than flat ones. My 2c.
