thanks for the reply av8r3400, more info would help. yes we are using a 912. the lopresti style cowling would look cool but the reason we are thinking of doing it is we have a lot of work to do around the nostril area of the cowl. it will be easier to do the round openings like the lopresti.
not looking for speed as we have 850 tires and no wheel pants but want to make sure we dont create other problems such as with cooling.
open to any info anyone might have on this subject. thanks
I've been flying a Model 7 with a cowl designed by Bill Prokes for
the last year or so. It has the round inlets and cools very well.
Phoenix summers and high performance climbouts have never
given over 190 degrees oil and 210 CHT. I'll attach a snapshot.
The hole under the spinner is for a LED recognition light.
great info desertfox1, thank you. your cowl looks great hope you don't mind us being a copy cat. that is what we had in mind but were worred about the temps. thanks again
