| Subject: | Cowlings at intro price |
--> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: TeamGrumman@aol.com
At the AYA Convention in Sacto, I had at least 10 people say they wanted a
cowling at the reduced price of $6000 with a $2000 deposit to secure it. I
have sent out about 8 purchase agreements. No deposits yet.
Here's the deal. Most have asked that they get the cowing in kit form and
install it themselves. The DER says I have to have the paperwork, drawings
and instructions complete and clear enough so that anyone can install it. I
hesitate to let just anyone install the cowling because I want all of them to
work, fit, cool, and perform perfectly. I have 5 years and $50,000 invested in
this and would hate to see it not work.
I just took 300 pictures of my cowling to a draftman to have them digitized
and engineering drawings made from them. The cooling tests are supposed to
start in a couple of months.
I already made the deposit on the cowlings refundable. I will throw in the
split upper cowling (you still need to suply the hinge) and make it so you can
install it yourself. Please just make sure you call if you have any
questions.
Once the cowling is approved, the price goes to $8000. You should be able
to sell your cowling to someone wwho just wants a workable cowling.
Also, if you know anyone with a pre-75 Traveler that wants a new cowling, I
need one to convert for testing. I'll probably need the plane for 3 months or
so. After the Traveler is converted, it might be easier to go with a later
cowling than to go back to the original. Just a heads up.
