A national testing lab did a burn test on a sample of my cowling: 2000 degrees for 5 minutes. It passed!
Next step is the 4 flight tests.
Cross your fingers.

The owner put together a pic which is a montage of several pics.
Interested? I'll send the pic.

Gary,
Congratulations on your cowling progress. I hope your flight tests go well. I'm not sure how I feel about the high dive speeds you've mentioned. You may give me a number of reason why it won't matter, but I would consider doing these tests over the valley for maximum AGL separation, and, frankly, wearing a parachute. What the FAA is making you demonstrate is absurd.
Did you get my message about swapping out your Garmin 430 card for my more recent one? If you confirm your mailing address, I'll send it to you.
Bill

Hi Bill
I've already had the plane to 225 mph. It's really pretty easy.
When I was in the brown town a few weeks ago I swapped data bases with Chuck. I will, however, take you up on that offer next time.

Well, I won't be updating any more of the non WAAS cards, can't with the new service, and the new cards are not interchangeable. My old card which expires this month or next will be it. Sounds like your arrangement with Chuck is working for you. I will probably try to sell both of my non WAAS cards on the Gang once I see what new replacement units are going for.
I guess 225 in MPH is not too excessive.

225 was easy. Power back, nose down from 10,000 ft. By 8,000, easy.
