I just received several pics of the cowl plug that Will has been working 

on for the RV-10 w/ BPE cold air induction, There are too many pics to 

include in this post and in deferrance to those wth dial-up. So I'm 

posting them at my web site http://deemsrv10.com/  go to the photo 

albums and then look for the Will James Cowl folder. (They are being  

published as I type this).

Will has hit a home run with this latest variant.  Early pics showed he

had missed the LoPresti philosophy of location of induction near the

prop arch in a geometric plane. He has corrected that early variant.  I

give now give him a 93 score of 100.  Before, I was ranking it at a 75.

Maybe his lay-up is even better than the factory offering.



The ballistic/atheistic style of the spinner, the aerodynamic detail

(NACA)of the lower cowl, the circular (non rectangular) upper inlets for

upper deck differential pressure capture, the side angled design of the

induction inlet for High Alpha climb profile are winners (IMHO).  It

looks faster just sitting in storage.



With Monty's Engine Magic, John's Tuned exhaust design, Scott's ceramic

tube coating idea and forward facing BPE Cold Air, this is going to be a

winner and a head turner on future production RV-10s.  Now to just lay

in batts of Zetex thermal insulation to protect the matrix and some of

the latent cooling issues will reduce to a distant memory.  With a

redesigned mount for proper airflow through the oil cooler and this

could be perfection in function.  If he could only lay-up carbon fiber

to reduce weight further and a lower NACA duct for alternate air, I

think I would be in ecstasy tonight.  Now, could I just dream that it

could also handle a TSIO-550 or AEIO-580????   The Rocket owners are

loosing their grip on the pedestal position. Better hold on tight.  "Are

we there yet?"

Here's a question - 



Do you have to be using BPEs cold air induction to use the cowl?  May

sound silly, but I get the feeling that the James cowl will cool the

engine better (and look cooler!)

Oohhh, aaaahhhh!  My big question is, do you have to remove the prop each

time to get the one piece cowling off?  (just kidding of course).



I may have missed a previous message, but any word on price and availability

yet?  I can't say I'd be real excited about doing another cowling, but man

that looks nice!

Will already has a cowl made for the RV-10 w/o the Barrett CAS system, 

you can see pics of it on his site.

One thing to note is Will mentioned in the original email that he still

had to do some fairing work but it is definitely looking good.

Guys, this is off topic but it is the only way I can get through to the 

list.  I've been unable to post directly to the list and e-mails to the 

webmaster have gone unanswered.  The only way to get through is by replying 

to previous posts.  Any one with suggestions for correcting this problem? 

BTW: the James cowl is awesome!
