Well I have finally finished my new cowl including cowl rails. (Still to be painted) I haven’t any weights to report but I am guessing that my empty weight is about 1100lb. She is a real performer. Now I just have to pretty her up a bit. I had some concerns re going to a small square filter box but I reckon she performs better. Maybe a bit of rammed air, I don’t know. CHTs are down but not sure about oil temps yet as I’m still waiting for a hot summer day.
The big change was to scrap the sea plane lip as it was advised that it would be causing turbulence and inhibiting the flow of exit air out the bottom. I have continued the lower cowl to just past the boot cowl. Seems to have improved temps.
