    Gary=2C To bad I don't live closer to you. It would be a fun project to adapt it t o the Cheetah. It would take e back to when I was a young engineer doing o il flows in wind tunnels=2C and aircraft performance work. Any chance you can move to Ohio for a year...:) If it would help convince you=2C I have a good work associate who is a DER and would love to get invo lved with something like this....:):)Richard MutzmanDayton=2C OH Birthplace of Aviation and Home of AYA 2010 _________________________________________________________________ Send e-mail anywhere.

    Hi Gary, I forwarded this from the grumman gang. I thought this line quite comical: "I will not try to estimate any time frame or cost at this time but the project is actually well underway as it sits." ned ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Blackman Sent: Monday, December 22, 2008 3:30 PM Subject: Re: New Cowling (AuCountry) - Finally! 2 place replacement cowlings...... This is a project that was started several years ago through the efforts of Air Mods N.W. and a contract mechanic at the time, Keith Hunter. For many reasons the project got sidlined and never got passed the prototype stage. The molds are still on hand and recent events have re-kindled this fire between myself and Keith. We are planning to begin the restarted effort this spring and would really like to know what kind of interest there would be from the fleet in a completely new, composite direct replacement cowl that looks like the original but is only two pieces (top & bottom) and requires no other changes in baffles, exhaust, etc. If you are interested, please contact me directly (I don't wish to create a thousand G-Gang responses) at guru@airmodsnw.com of call on the phone. I will not try to estimate any time frame or cost at this time but the project is actually well underway as it sits. By the way, CONGRTS'S to Gary Vogt on finally getting his project completed. It really looks good and I will be in touch with him soon for details. Ken Blackman

    Hi Ned, I am installing a Power Flow Exhaust on a TIger and I've had a lot of time t o look at the current AG5B engine compartment. =C2-The airbox isn't the on ly change that would be required. =C2-The oil pressure sending unit would need to be moved to get the oil pressure line out of the way. =C2-The fuel line into the engine compartment has a 45 degree bulkhead fitting; a 90 deg ree fitting would be required. =C2-The engine primer is also in the way an d would need to be moved. =C2-With an airbox, and all the above changes, i t could be done on an AG5B. =C2- The only other alternative would be modifying the air inlet and build a cust om airbox to take advantage of a better inlet; quite possibly an inlet near the front of #2 cylinder. =C2- Gary -----Original Message----- From: 923te <923te@att.net> Sent: Mon, 22 Dec 2008 4:02 pm Subject: TeamGrumman-List: Fw: New Cowling (AuCountry) - Finally!
