Bill,
Did you get a chance to install the fairing?

Another Tiger owner very interested in testing your fairing. My Tiger has 200 hrs on a Millenum motor, and JPI 4 probe with download available. Was thinking of eventually getting a Jaguar before the end of the year if my ship comes in, death in family, but would love to test the fairing even so and especially if things don`t allow a new Jaguar by year end. #4 runs hot, usually 430+ on most days with proper leaning, #3 right behind at 420 usually. Summer or winter, and any altitude, could be the manual leaner, I know.

You must have 4-cylinder CHT/EGT (and I mean a real one, not some Westach, Falcon, Micro or something else that has no relevance to the real world)
You need to have good historical data for a before and after comparison.
You'll need to remove your nose gear strut to get the boot off. The fairing screws in place. This should make R&R of the cowling easier too.

HI Gary
Yes, did get the fairing installed and have flown it over 4 hours the past weekend. Early observations, and I have some readings I will send in a couple of days, EGT remains nearly the same, less than 50 degrees less, but CHT went down dramatically. Hottest cylinders down 10-20 degrees and the best news is this was leaned even further than I had ever done in very hot weather, again last weekend. Early fuel numbers at: 9,500 ft, 2650 rpm, old best leaning possible 10.8 gallons, now best lean again and 9.9 gallons per hour and even a slight speed advantage, old best speed at that altitude and temp, 58 degrees outside both before and after mod, 138 knots, new 140 knots. Different days of course but was a two way run and these are GPS speeds, not indicated. With the weather changing this next week will be interesting to see how that will affect temps.
So will get you the actual readings as soon as I can and I know you have a winner, certainly well worth having it stc`d and I consider it one of the best moods you could have considering how simple it really is.

Bill,
That's good news. If possible, make as many tables as time allows showing OAT, speed, Altitude, fuel flow, and CHTs. EGTs are not that important.

Bill,
Can you get some pics of the fairing on your plane? Make a spread sheet with the OAT and CHTs for various climb and cruise conditions. If you have experience with previous CHTs, include them.
Are you flying very much? Come up to Auburn and let me see it.

Hi Gary
Attached is a spread sheet showing the last 5 hours I have flown it. I will have pictures shortly. Your cuff certainly does work, and I can say with conviction. Compared to the boot being installed the cuff certainly gives better air flow, and judging by the increase in speed not putting disturbed air out, Better fuel consumption, verified, easily saves .8 a gallon per hour by allowing more aggressive leaning. All tests have been leaned to peak.
As you are aware my Tiger is not the best aerodynamically so as they say if we can get these results anyone can!
I have been very busy with work this time of year so not getting to fly a lot but could make a trip to Auburn this week on Friday if that can work?
Thanks and should have pictures downloaded later today.

Bill & Gary:
Attached are some updates to the original data. The original had some format errors.
The data that seems to be missing is the the Data WITHOUT the Mod. Bill, do you have any of that?
It would have been very interesting to record the air temps at the exhaust ramps and in the area of the Boot Mod - Before and After the install. If the exhaust ramp temps dropped you could make the assumption more air is exiting the entire cowl. If the temps at each exhaust point were equal you could make the assumption that the Mod helps balance the flow throughout the cowl ergo improving the entire engine cooling.
Gary, have you posted a picture of the Mod? One GREAT point of having an OPEN Boot Mod would be: Dropped tools and items could easily be retrieved. That alone is worth hours of frustration.

Hi Barry
Guess I didn`t say this correctly, but the first is with the Mod, the listing with the Boot is before the mod. So both are there or at least I thought so. I do have EGT`s also but that difference was very slight less than 50 degrees before and after, the largest drop was in CHT`s. As to balance before and after I can almost get all cylinders balanced within 50 degrees EGT before and after so that did not change either way.
I do have pictures and will download them shortly.

Bill,
The biggest gains I got when trying to decrease my Tiger CHT's was from enlarging the cylinder wrap baffle exits and cleaning out the casting flash on the fins between the spark plugs. I did a lot of other things first but the airflow was being throttled down by the too small exits under the cylinders between the cylinder baffle wraps

Hi Gary
Attached is a spread sheet showing the last 5 hours I have flown it. I will have pictures shortly. Your cuff certainly does work, and I can say with conviction. Compared to the boot being installed the cuff certainly gives better air flow, and judging by the increase in speed not putting disturbed air out, Better fuel consumption, verified, easily saves .8 a gallon per hour by allowing more aggressive leaning. All tests have been leaned to peak.
As you are aware my Tiger is not the best aerodynamically so as they say if we can get these results anyone can!
I have been very busy with work this time of year so not getting to fly a lot but could make a trip to Auburn this week on Friday if that can work?
Thanks and should have pictures downloaded later today.

Can you get some pics of the fairing on your plane? Make a spread sheet with the OAT and CHTs for various climb and cruise conditions. If you have experience with previous CHTs, include them.
Are you flying very much? Come up to Auburn and let me see it.

I am located in Lodi 1O3, Tiger is a 1976 model slowly getting renovated. Recently put your face panels on and greatly improved look, best investment so far.
Thanks

Another Tiger owner very interested in testing your fairing. My Tiger has 200 hrs on a Millenum motor, and JPI 4 probe with download available. Was thinking of eventually getting a Jaguar before the end of the year if my ship comes in, death in family, but would love to test the fairing even so and especially if things don`t allow a new Jaguar by year end. #4 runs hot, usually 430+ on most days with proper leaning, #3 right behind at 420 usually. Summer or winter, and any altitude, could be the manual leaner, I know.
Thanks

You must have 4-cylinder CHT/EGT (and I mean a real one, not some Westach, Falcon, Micro or something else that has no relevance to the real world)
You need to have good historical data for a before and after comparison.
You'll need to remove your nose gear strut to get the boot off. The fairing screws in place. This should make R&R of the cowling easier too.

I am definitely interested in any mods to lower engine temps.

Bill & Gary:
Attached are some updates to the original data. The original had some format errors.
The data that seems to be missing is the the Data WITHOUT the Mod. Bill, do you have any of that?
It would have been very interesting to record the air temps at the exhaust ramps and in the area of the Boot Mod - Before and After the install. If the exhaust ramp temps dropped you could make the assumption more air is exiting the entire cowl. If the temps at each exhaust point were equal you could make the assumption that the Mod helps balance the flow throughout the cowl ergo improving the entire engine cooling.
Gary, have you posted a picture of the Mod? One GREAT point of having an OPEN Boot Mod would be: Dropped tools and items could easily be retrieved. That alone is worth hours of frustration.
