Jim Meade Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Has anyone modified the CTSW cowl inlets so as to make them line up more directly and more closely, especially with the radiator? Also with the exit if you've done that. I've been told that tighter cowling can improve cooling and reduce drag. I'm not inviting an argument on that so much as wondering if anyone has any direct experience with the CTSW in this regard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Baker Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 If it is not lined up change the position of the radiator. There are a couple cowling changes that I would like to do. First is a NACA duct for cabin heat. Get rid of the snout on the heat muff, and just run a hose to the NACA duct. Then plug the small rectangular opening. this is how the new Super Sport is done. Second is a mount for a better landing light. It would be great if all that was needed was to enlarge the hole and install the new molded piece.

Anticept Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 One thing I noticed is that if the intake for the cabin heat works too well, the heat going into the airplane can damage the front window and melt your shoes. It's impressively hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
