I guess I'll survive, Arash. Wasn't this guy out of curiosity, was it?

It looks like it's just a really well-filled and massaged cowling with a Del-Air nose bowl. Sorry I can't embed an image on here...I get an error saying that it can't determine dimensions. I've all but given up on images on this website.

You are a google master...

As for images, if you're using an apple device this app makes it a breeze for resizing images to meet forum requirements for total file size and pixels.

I need to get back to studying for my CFI instead of worrying about random 170 pictures I've seen.

I hate those ugly cheek-bumps on conversions. I guess on wide-deck Lycs it's necessary. Another reason to opt for a TCM IO360.
