I flew from Fredericksburg Texas to Collegeville PA (N10)  - Gary Vought 
with his newly designed cowling, with me flying my stock Tiger - as a two 
ship formation.

Observations:

1)His Tiger leaves mine in the dust (really really leaves it behind - even 
at high altitude where I can usually do OK)

2) His new cowling looks awesome - and it received comments in the places we 
landed.

3) He never had to reduce power for cooling.


(Oh - yeah - also - he is alive and well)

p.s. I am no aeronautical engineer - and there are too many degrees of 
freedom for me to say that the Vought Cowl was responsible for everything - 
but I want one in a big big way.

ppss We made the flight in one day - Gary was nice enough to throttle way 
back to allow me to keep up.
