Birds can be a pain. The previous occupant of my hangar must have let birds and
cats occupy the vacant planes he stored. Did he think the cats would keep the
birds away? It took 3 years to get all of the cats to go away and not come
back. Birds, well, the birds are back in force every year. I make it a habit
of putting aluminum tape over the openings in the horizontal. Without it, it's
a natural for birds. I had finished an annual on one plane, pulled it out
of the hangar, the owner got in it and started the engine. In that length of
time, say, 5 minutes, with the engine running, birds were flying into the horizontal
openings. It was crazy.
I've tried all of the tricks to keep birds away from planes. The CD thing doesn't
work. I've even put fly paper on the VOR antennas and the birds just landed
on the fly paper. I tried hanging lots of things on the VOR antennas. Nothing
works.

Hi All,
It's the time of year when our feathered aviator buddies get interested in nest building. This (http://web.me.com/jophusdavid/Site/N111GG_Birds_Nest.html) developed in just a few days in one of our club planes at Concord, CA.
(I don't have a Grumman, but after flying them in the 70's I always felt the Cheetah
and Tiger were the best all-around GA planes.)
Regards,
Tony

Phil,
I thought about not having the top hinged. It's totally doable. If that were
done, I would need an oil filler door. In the end, the ease of access with a
hinge was kept.
I talked to fabricator. He's in the process of restoring a Corvette for a customer.
He said he could get started on a cowling by the middle of June. It takes
about two weeks to get it delivered here. Usually, we each drive halfway
and I pick up the parts from him.
What part of the cowling would you like to see? How's this for close?
Gary

Gary, What is your estimated delivery time after receiving order.
Do you have any close in photos of the cowl details? Also, how practical would
it be to eliminate the top hinge? Think we could get it done through 337?

Hi John,
I'm selling the kit, that includes the cowling pieces (left
side, right side, upper cowling (needs to be cut in half)) and the 15 baffle
pieces for $8500 plus shipping.
As for the Power Flow, they offer deals every once in a
while. I think Fletcher even has deals they could do. Depending on
where you are, it wouldn't make sense for me to buy the PF system, have it
shipped here, and then to your place.
I've talked to Darren at PFS about making a special deal for
cowling buyers and was pretty much told no. So, no special deals for me.

I got the new W&B today. Another pound toward useful load!
I washed it the other night and did a short high speed run at about 2000' DA and
topped 150 KTAS. I need a USB-to-serial adapter to download the EDM; I'll do
that this week.

Thanks Gary, I am at a Flight Safety recurrent course this week. I'll be
in touch next week to further explore putting in an order for the cowl.

Brian should consider getting the JPI USB adapter as the USB to serial
adapters were pretty flaky in my experience. The JPI product is certainly
overpriced but it lets one bring just a USB key with them instead of a
notebook.
