Cowl upgrade Jeffrey Schweitzer dentate jeffrey.s.schweitzer@kp.org Hi All,

While N115CE was in for its annual and getting the airconditioning problem fixed, we did a few little tweaks to the cowl. Picture attached. The air intake transition to the cowl is smoothed, with a cap over the filter; we have fairings for the exhausts, and the plate that covered the opening in the cowl for the original single exhaust has now been glassed in, with a flange left open for airflow. Also got the paint color slightly improved. Tomorrow I will fly it. Based on the 2 or 3 knots I lose when I open the cowl flaps, I am hopeful that these small changes will add another knot or two to cruise.
