Anyone have any experience using a 'Holy Cowl' plenum on an RV-7?  I'm  interested in ease of use, performance, cooling, etc.

  

 Thanks

Yup I got one, the long  cowl with a prop extension swinging a heavy Hartzell C/S prop.

  

 I do aerobatics with it  too.

  

 Two of my friends also  have them one is flying

  

 Seem to be a little  faster than a standard RV in a side by side flyoff..Cooling works  great.

  

 Its a little more work  than a Vans cowl, mainly because of the plenum.

  

 Looks hot  though!

I have the Sam James cowls and plenum on my RV-7A.  Cooling is not an  issue under any conditions, and they look great.  I don't think they're any  faster than stock, but then I have nothing to compare against.  The install  effort might be a tad more, but basically the same effort.

I was turned off by the  rqmt for prop extension.  I thought that limited aerobatic use, so curious  to hear that it does not.

Well its like evrything  else in flying...I.e how hard are you going to do it?

  

 One thing I learned is  this airplane is not an Extra 300 or a Pitts...It simply will not do hardore  aerobatics...By that I mean the only reason to pull high is cus you screwed  something up.

  

 So far I have logged +5  and -ve 2.3 G's...and that was while attempting an inverted spin...which it oes  not like to do. and this airplane will really not do gyroscopic  manouvers.

  

 In my reasearch I i  discovered that this really is an airplane that will do everything within 3.5 to  4 Gs...As the extended hub prop is limited to _/- 4Gs its really not an  issue.

  

 If you would like to see  the acro I do look in "youtube.com" and sarch under "rv aerobatics"...I have put  three vids up there under my user name "frank hinde"

  

 Enjoy

  

 Frank

Some props have built in hub extensions with zero acro limitations.  My MT 3 Blade is one of them.
