Follow the above links for pictures and some history on Gary Vogt's
cowling.
LoPresti is just a nose bowl replacement while Vogt's is the entire
cowling. It is lightweight and very streamlined as you will garner from
the above link. Gary went to extreme lengths to build an aerodynamically
superior and cooling superior cowling that can replace the no longer
made 1975 thru 1979 Tiger cowls.
Gary is a great asset to the Grumman community bringing his experience
as an aerospace engineer, IA A&P and love for our aircraft type.
He has been reluctant to publicly state exactly what speed improvement
his cowl achieves. From having followed the project I am going to say
that there is a speed gain and a cooling gain that will pleasantly
surprise those who purchase it and it is the only new complete
replacement cowl available to replace all the worn out ones in the
fleet.
>From what I have heard the cost of the cowl will be significantly less
than a comparable after market cowl such as the $20,000 LoPresti Howl

Has there been any discussion of the cost of the cowling for the rest
of us?
And, sorry, but I've been off the Gang for awhile: What are the
advantages
to this cowl over the LoPresti?

well, yesterday, we did the final flight test. we found 30 degree air
and got the required 90 degree temperature rise.
Now, as soon as the FAA accepts the data . . . . . . you know the rest
of the story
