Gang,
I've had several recent requests for pics of the stick boots, so here
they are.
The frame is extra, but we can fab as well...just a time and materials
thing. We also polish them on our planes. As you can see from the
bottom pic, these boots have an inner sleeve to cut down on the updraft
air that comes in around the stick.
Front and rear are slightly different. $40/ea. or $75 for a set of two
in vinyl, leather also available. We also have flap and nose gear
actuator boots available which are of similar construction only made out
of canvas. Please contact us directly with questions or to place your
order...and there's still time to get them under the Christmas tree...
;)
Cheers,
Barry

On my old CJ I added 5" extensions onto the stacks and that reduced the smell of
exhaust in the cockpit quite a bit. If I had kept the airplane I would have
modified the stacks to lead aft and then changed the lower cowling to be able
to get it off and on around the stacks.
The Sukhoi style stacks on the new CJ went straight down for about 12". There
was less exhaust in the cockpit but trim and performance sucked. When I cut them
off the trim improved dramatically and I gained 11 knots. Got the smoke back
too.
When we put Bill Blackwell's side stacks on, the exhaust smell almost completely
went away - including using smoke both level and when pulling (my cabin air
comes from a NACA mounted well out under the port wing). The only time I smell
exhaust is when taxiing downwind. (The CHTs also went down, engine feels stronger
and I picked up a bit of speed).
Craig, the three-blades have a place as do the two. The first time I flew the
CJ with the MT FW-190 style three-blade both Tom Elliott and I were on board (that's
a substantial bunch of "live" weight) - the plane accelerated quickly and
climbed like a homesick tractor at more than 2,500 fpm. However, before we
cleaned the draggy stuff up Tom would walk past me in his stock 285 CJ at cruise.
Now that my plane is cleaned up a bit I probably have a small advantage
as I have a power advantage of about 100 horsepower. However, I don't think that
the big three-bladed props are as good in cruise as the good two-bladed props
are.
BTW, we discovered (expensively, of course) that louvers that extend outside of
the airplane create drag and are not very good at sucking out air; the louvers
that are inside the skin do better. Secondly, round all of the edges - sharp
edges cause turbulence and drag.

I had a reverse scoop made for the panel on the center fuel tank. Made
big difference but made the cockpit colder. Low pressure behind the
scoop suck air out big time. Had it off and on several times and you can
tell a difference
