Dear Listers,
I sat down at the 'ol computer tonight to have a look at a few of the nice comments
List Members have been including along with their Contributions this year.
I was amazed at how many I found and even more amazed at some of the very nice
things Listers have been saying about the Lists and how valuable the they
are to them.
I've included quite a few of these nice comments below. Please read over some
of this great Lister feedback. No doubt you will find that you agree with at
least one or two of those comments - maybe all of them! If you find that do,
won't you please make a Contribution to support these Lists today!! Its fast
and easy with the Matronics List Contribution Web Site:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
Don't forget that I've now fully implemented the new *List Fund Raiser Squelch*
feature that will automatically intercept any future iterations of my "Please
Contribute" messages -- that is, *once you've made YOUR Contribution*! How cool
is that? (Make sure the email address you enter along with your Contribution
matches exactly your subscribed List email address. An exact match is how
it works.)
Thank you for your generous Contributions this year and for all the wonderful comments!!

Gary, Do you have an estimated availability yet on the cowling. Is it 2007
or later?. If I opt in on the early purchase offer does that mean I have to
bring my tiger to you? That's probably a deal killer for me because I'm
based in Danbury, CT.
Thanks,

OK, so, no one wants in on the early cowlings. Come on, Get the word
out. Someone must want one of the early cowlings. Just $2,000 down
buys an $8,000 cowling at 25% off.
OK. Well, as soon as I can afford it, I'm going to tackle a parallel
valve IO360 with a constant speed prop. Any takers on that????

| Subject: | Re: Cowling Update |
In the ideal world . . . . . yes, I'll be able to send out the kit
and you can install it. The first couple, I'd like to install just to
make sure the installation instructions make sense. The DER is
insisting things like the landing light installation be pre-located and
pre-drilled so that there is no need to include that in the
installation instructions. I would like to be able to locate and
pre-drill the cam locks. The buyer is going to be responsible for
getting the center hinge, separating the upper cowling into two pieces,
and trimming and fitting the parts prior to installing the hinge. It
takes me 4 to 10 hours to fit the hinge and another 4 to 10 hours to
fit the upper to the lower before the cam locks can be drilled.
Installing my cowling on my plane took me two weeks. The flexible
baffle seals, an extremely important part of the installation, will
have to be done by the installer. I hope to have a lot of pics so the
installer can copy the installation. I have templates for the baffles.
Hopefully, they'll fit all the installations.
Several years ago, I had a customer get the LoPresti nose bowl because
Dave Fletcher told her the temps would be better. A West Coast shop
that does work for LoPresti, installed the nose bowl. Her temps were
actually a LOT worse. She brought the plane to me. I would guess
there was an equal amount of air being forced into the lower part of
the engine compartment as was on top. That is, no pressure drop across
the cylinders; i.e., no cooling air flow. The inlets on the LoPresti
nose bowl don't provide as close of a fit or as much as a fool proof
installation as does the stock cowling. It takes a lot of work to
properly seal the top from the bottom with the LoPresti nose bowl.
My cowling fits really tight. There is less than 1/2 inch between any
sealing surface. The space between the cowling and the spinner is the
thickness of a paint stir stick. Part of the "trim to fit" for the
cowling is because not all engines are installed with the same number
of shims. The installation instructions will include a recommended
number of shims.
