| Subject: | Cowling installation |
In case you've forgotten, the original "First Installation" was
terminated when the owner felt it was taking too long. It's my fault
of course. I thought I'd made it clear I needed a plane to finish the
installation instructions and certification on a STOCK plane. Mine was
not acceptable because I could not conform my installation to the
installation instructions. It's a long story but that's the way the
FAA works.
So, Jeff Keesaman stepped to the plate. He brought his plane up here
6 weeks ago. The first set of tests were interesting. I had to do
(compnay test) all of the proposed testing on a stock plane to get a
base-line. Then, once I was happy with the results, hire a DER to get
an FAA approved flight test plan. Then, once the the approved test
plan was in hand, redo the tests with the stock plane. Those tests are
completed.
It took 4 hours to remove the original cowling and baffles from the
stock plane and another 6 hours to install the new baffles and relocate
a few wires. Oddly, the baffles that fit on the first plane didn't fit
everywhere on the second plane. Very weird. Today, I finish up the
baffles and trial fit the cowling.
