Gary ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:45:48 PM PST US From: "The Sign Guys" Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: Cowling Update --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: "The Sign Guys" Just curious, have you thought of adding a second landing light? I think quite a few people might be interested in having an option for more light. I would be interested in more details about the cowl. I've looked at the web page, but there appears to be many mis linked photos, or photos and pages that won't open. What changes if any to the baffles are needed, or required? Will it fit an mid production traveler with the powerflow(short)?

In front of where the alternator is? In front where the starter is? Down low where the muffler sits? As for the space under the left inlet, that space is being reserved for a change to the inlet/air filter. I suppose I could make a bulge in the cowling and put it just about anywhere. Any suggestions? The location where the landing light is now is about the only place I had available. Besides, I've landed at night at airports with no runway lights and had plenty of light. Variations of the boom beam are available. As for the web site, with the exception of one thumbnail picture that links to the wrong bigger picture, all of the links on the cowling page work fine=20for me. As for fit: The cowling will "fit" any AA1 or AA5 series airplane. The AA5 will be the next one I'm going to get an STC for.

Or would there also be a prop extension or something of the like as well?

I have about $50,000 tied up in my cowling at this point. If you want to put up the money, I'll thing about it. A new cowling for a Cessna 172 would be a better investment though. Gary
