This is an interesting discourse and sounds a bit emotionally
charged. As a matter of curiosity, in developing installation
instructions is there a difference between installing 5 cowlings or
installing 1 cowling 5 times?

LOL, ah, well, yes there is. Apparently, you've never purchased and tried
to install, say, window side mouldings for example. I have never seen side
mouldings installed correctly by the average airplane owner. Look at the
pictures of the Cheetah advertised on GG. The rear side mouldings are installed
OVER the seat belt mountings. Not only that, they weren't trimmed properly
around the cabin entrance. There are no instructions that come with the trim.
The cowling is made in tooling that is larger than the part. It is done
this way so that the fiberglass can be layed up properly at the edges. There
are scribe lines in the tooling, but, they are only for reference. One of=20the
hardest parts on the cowling installation will be fittiing the baffles and
baffle seals around the inlets. Most installations have a 1 inch or greater gap
between the baffle and the cowliing. The gaps on mine are very tight (3/8
inch) on the side that doesn't move much, and a 1/2 inch on the other side.=20
I
can just see someone installing the cowling and having CHTs in the 450s or
higher because they didn't install the cowling and baffles correctly. Then all
the bitching and moaning that would take place ......

Hi Jim,
I will be doing the Traveler next. The problem is the intake. I need to
come up with a way to work around the Cheetah carb inlet. As soon as I get
the wheel pants done, and maybe the wing tips, I'll start working on a solution
to the carb inlet on the Cheetah.
Why will I do the Traveler first? Because I think I can modify the Traveler
air box to make it work with my cowling a lot easier than I could the Cheetah
air box.
Well, I'm off to change a flap switch and then repaint a firewall.
