| Subject: | Re: Improve fit of upper cowl |
Barry,=0A=0AA few years ago, I had a Cheetah owner come in who wanted a new
upper right half of the cowling to fix a similar problem. -About $1500 l
ater, after buying the right upper cowling half ($850), stripping-filling-a
nd-painting the new one ($300), and removing the old and installing the new
($300), he had a new (read: different) upper right half. -It looked a li
ttle better, flew the same, and I made money.=0A=0AI don't think it improve
d it $1500 worth.=0A=0AGary=0A=0A=0A________________________________=0A Fro
