Anyone know how much a replacement cowl costs from Vans? I looked on the site and didn’t see the unit listed in the store. 

 

Thanks, 

Robin

Here is some incentive. Just after leveling off at  13500 coming back from KTVL Stock Van's cowl.

After my upcoming deployment I am pulling the plug on the James cowl as well. Just not cutting it in the Southern heat. Really looks good, but not worth the poor performance. Right now I am just using short term fixes to at least kept the plane flyable. Don't want to delve back into fiberglass, but it needs done.

Whoops. On my computer the MFD image was sideways. Thus my comment on "leveling off?"

I think the James cowl is not just hotter but also 5+ knots slower.

Well I didn't want some yahoo saying,"195 is too  hot at 13500!!"  I had leveled off and stabilized on cruise then finished  leaning when I snapped the photo.  The oil temp was just coming back down  after the climb.  I had some tailwind during this pic but not much,  probably around 5-10 kts.

Forgetabout about winds aloft, I like how long you can stay aloft at 8.6 GPH. ~6 hours with VFR reserves. (maybe less with the climb burn). ROP I had to stop for fuel going in & out of OSH flying ROP. Would have been nice to burn 40% less fuel AND not have the fuel stop cost in both time and extra climb outs. Darn you James Cowl!
