| Subject: | Cooling exit ramp |
Here are close ups of what the cooling ramp looks like.
I don't know what the issue is that Ned Thomas has. He flew away with a
completed cowling and baffle installation. He's since made a lot of changes to
the cowling that will not conform to the supplemental type certificate design.
I notified the FAA ACO and they have called the Oklahoma office. He will need
to re-certify the cowling if he decides to fly it.
Attached at pics of the cooling exit ramps from my cowling.
The last pic shows the nose gear boot fairing being removed. This single change
resulted in 25 to 50 degrees higher CHTs. I'm having Dave fabricate a new
replacement nose gear boot fairing that I will use to get a new STC for ALL
AA5x/AG5B aircraft. My cowling will be the first test case.

I'm not seeing the issue here. Is someone having a problem or is there a personality
conflict?
Have looked both sets of pictures and due to poor quality photos cannot clearly
determine where the issue is?
Did the stc holder call the faa to report the end user? If so, why? I am unable
to follow what is happening here.
Am interested in the cowl and would like to understand the issues.
