What's in it for you? That's the easy part.
• A completely new, lighter, purpose designed cowling.
. .- Not just a nose bowl with round inlets.
• Cowling support rods mounted on the firewall
• Completely new, custom fitted baffles that improves cooling,
. .fit better, and moves the oil cooler into cooler air.
• An average of 6 knots faster (up to 10 knots faster)
• Better cooling
• Cylinder head temps are more uniform (up to 35 degrees cooler.)
• Easy cowling removal and replacement. No nose gear boot.
• A split cowling. Not just the nosebowl.

. .- a safer environment when working on the engine.
. .- no more cuts on your head/forehead from cowling latch pins.
