Not wanting to hijack the January 2016 KFOTM, I'm starting a new discussion.
Patrick Hintz' Model 6 has a unique FWF and cowling setup.
A question to those in the know: Is the Model 6 a different FWF from the model IV and to that point where does the Model 5 fit into the evolution?
The smooth cowl IV FWF seems to be an after thought, with it's oil tank placement (scalloped/frenched into the firewall) and very short profile. It appears shorter than the 6 shown in the KFOTM feature. Maybe a way of getting a new look without completely redesigning the round cowl engine mount?
The model 7 (SS), with it's boot cowl and extended cowl looking much sleeker and faster, seems to have take this evolution to it's final profile.
Thoughts, comments, discussion?
