It went from hanging outside or below the fuselage line to inside the cowl keeping the lower cowl line even with the fuselage. The specifications indicate a speed increase in the 1975 model of 6 kts. Was this due primarily to the change in Engine cooling air exit deign?

Early Travelers had the square edge of the gear legs out in the breeze, and even those with wheel pants had no brake covers or upper gear leg fairings. And the blunt nose of the early cowl was probably costly in terms of drag, too. So there are many factors besides the change in the bottom of the cowling. --Bob Steward ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 08:16:22 AM PST US Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: Engine cooling air exit deign From: Airport Bum There were also changes in other areas as well. The fuel sump covers as well as gear leg fairings and nose faring were now the same as cheetah/tiger. I would guess at least a small part of the speed increase was due to the cowling change with reduced cooling drag. But think most of the speed was from the gear cleanup.

Totally off the wall - Totally bogus - But great to start a Bull Session . How do you separate the speed difference from the fixed cowl flaps to a speed increase of 6 Kts with JUST the flaps going from outside to flush mount? I guess the rest of the cowl change had nothing to do with the speed increase! Since I have a AA5 and with your logic I can gain 6 Kts just by removing my flaps. The increase in 6 Kts of speed should take care of any cooling lost due to the removal of the flaps. AND since the AA5 has better cooling of the AA5A or B it won't matter much... Huh!

So both are there or at least I thought so. I do have EGT`s also but that difference was very slight less than 50 degrees before and after, the largest drop was in CHT`s. As to balance before and after I can almost get all cylinders balanced within 50 degrees EGT before and after so that did not change either way. I do have pictures and will download them shortly.

The original had some form at errors. The data that seems to be missing is the the Data WITHOUT the M od. Bill=2C do you have any of that? It would have been very interesting to record the air temps at the exhaust ramps and in the area of the Boot Mod - Before and After the install. If t he exhaust ramp temps dropped you could make the assumption more air is exi ting the entire cowl. If the temps at each exhaust point were equal you co uld make the assumption that the Mod helps balance the flow throughout the cowl ergo improving the entire engine cooling. Gary=2C have you posted a picture of the Mod? One GREAT point of having an OPEN Boot Mod would be: Dropped tools and items could easily be retrieved. That alone is worth hours of frustration.

All tests have been leaned to peak. As you are aware my Tiger is not the best aerodynamically so as they say if we can get these results anyone can! I have been very busy with work this time of year so not getting to fly a lot but could make a trip to Auburn this week on Friday if that can work? Thanks and should have pictures downloaded later today.
