In the meantime, if the LoPresti cowl and Powerflow improved cooling and performance significantly, they may be a good investment now to help extend engine life and later too. I know three local pilots with Cheetahs. Two have 4 cyl CHT/EGT, one only one cyl (hottest). None of the three seem to have a problem with engine cooling. All of the three have meticulously maintained baffling. One gets flown all over the place at high DA in summer. One has the 160 HP mod, the other 2 don't. Guess which one. I don't think cooling is a major issue with the Cheetah. Your #1 priority should be making sure that the baffling and baffle sealing is in tip-top shape. Peformance? You'll have to count the legs on those horses yourself. In any case, your many suggestions to join the GG and AYA have not fallen on deaf ears -- I will do that when I get the plane, then think about mods with their doubtless good advice. Duane, I would strongly recommend you to run don't walk and join both groups NOW. Both will be an invaluable resource to you in terms of things to inspect and look out for, BEFORE you buy the plane. Good luck, Sydney |
