Jaguar cowling on N119ST

We tried once in 2008 to put this cowling on N119ST.  I really thought the flight test sequence would take a couple of months once all the other bullshit was approved.  Nope.  It took another 17 months.  Here it is finally.   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.
