Jaguar cowling on N119ST

The baffles in 2010 were all new baffles designed especially for this installation.  In 2003, I used a cobbled together set of RV6 baffles.  They work OK.  But, they are not made half as accurately as these.   Click here to return to the Restoration Page

Final delivery 2010:		 The astitute eye will notice the landing light is different and the tail pipe comes out of the bottom.  This cowling began life as a 2 layer splash.  We kept adding to it until we got it to the point I wanted to fly it.  This was the step just before the cam-locks were installed.  Once the cam-locks were in, I wanted to fly it.
This was an exciting day.  Finally.  It took 3 years from concept to prototype fabrication to tooling to inlets to baffles and finally bringing it outside to start.  I flew it on this day.  It met or exceded all of my expectations.
Here is a shot of the baffles in 2010.  The installation is ready for the cowling.
Here is Brian with a cowling for which he's been waiting for seven years.
