Very glad to hear that we're ready to re-install your cowl on N119ST. About
how long is a w-h-i-l-e? I'll need to coordinate the time off for the cross
country flights with my squadron. The annual is due in July and since Bill
Hatton is no longer running a shop nearby I'm looking for a mechanic. It
makes sense to complete the inspection at the same time as the install.
I'll order a PowerFlow and have it sent to your shop. The new paint job is
PPG Aerospace "Chevron White" which should be the standard Chevy white for
matching purposes. We can worry about the blue trim later.
I'm working in Florida at the moment, have commitments in Maryland all next
week, could possibly run the plane out on 31 March if you're ready for it.
I have my cell on me, (619) 392-5911.

Hey Brian, sounds like you're a busy guy. Dave, the composite guy who
makes the cowling, is in the process of making the second (lastest
version) cowling. The cowling I used on your plane was sacraficed for
the greater cause.
As for a-w-h-i-l-e, it took me two weeks to fit the cowling to my
plane. Then, once the basic fitting was done, all of the harware was
installed. The next one, your's, shouldn't take that long. The thing
is, it will take Dave a few weeks to make all the parts. Plus, he's
working every other week in Mississippi.
I'll catch up with Dave tomorrow and get an estimate on how long it
will take to get all the parts together. There are 12 pieces to
fabricate, plus all of the baffles to fit.
To answer your question regarding when it will be ready to install, all
I can say is, "as soon as I get the parts." During the installation
and fitting on your plane, I'll be making drawings of the installation
and taking pictures for the installation instructions.
The cowling I install after yours is for a 6-cylinder Tiger. That will
require a one-time STC. Sounds like fun doesn't it.
My guess is, I'll get the first of the production cowlings in about a
month.
If you can bring the plane up and leave it for a month or so once I get
the parts, that would be awesome.
