I could take the bonnet, quarter panels and boot lid off of my car and say it’s functional beauty – but it just looks better if I leave the bodywork in place.
Yes obviously. On a car all the Driver / Mechanic has to do is lift the Bonnet to see the Engine. On the Schweizer from a Student / Pilot / Engineer point of view the open Engine / Mast area leaves for a better learning experience and understanding of how the Aircraft runs and operates when your up in the air and also allows for a good thorough Pre-Flight Inspection especially when testing the Clutch.
