For what it's worth, I've got a brand new unfinished pair of original
"clown feet" wheel pants that I'll give free to a good home (you pay
shipping). First email to me wins...

Nice looking pants. Wish mine came out that nice looking.
Something you might consider is to add vents to the top of the pants to let
the
heat out. I do not know first hand but was told by a couple of long easy
guys it helps a lot in keeping the wheels cool.

Andy,
I asked someone at the factory that very question. I have the Old style
ones and thought it was worth asking. I was told that they are all about
the same as far as speed goes. I think the newer ones may be a little more
user friendly to remove/re install.
Since there was really no advantage to buying new ones, I just redesigned
my old style ones.
Here are some pics of what I did:

Does anyone know if there are improved wheel pants (more aerodynamic) for
the
standards out there? I've seen the XL ones.
If so, how many knots did you gain?

Hi Renee,
That is very interesting. If you have any links on what you saw would you
mind forwarding them?
Thanks

Over old ones. Lots of Vans RV experimenters out there with similar
speeds almost.

Kurt,
Those look fantastic. How big a project was this? Seems as if
this was fairly extensive on glasswork.
I'm as we'll looking for a better look. My research on speed
same as yours: all shapes about the same in drag
reduction/speed gains.

Subject: Re: REFLECTOR: Engine air intake
I've noticed my MAP is 1-2" higher during climb out compared to after I
level off. My inlet air scoop is under the belly. I figure at high AOA
there is more pressure underneath. And perhaps the scoop is a bit in the
boundary layer during cruise. I'm curious about your findings.

Kerry, I ran across your email and here's my 2 cents worth: I have a standard SE IO360 and after some experimentation, have settled on a air intake
system that gives me about 1/2" of positive pressure at 140 knots and at 185 knots TAS 3/4" of boost. This pressure is measured down stream of the
air filter (KandN) just prior to the air entering the fuel servo. If you are interested in some of my findings, feel free to call or email me.

There has not been any mention of what works best for intake air. If someone has found a good way to pressurize the intake would they share what
they have done.
Thank You
Kerry

The old oil cooler is a Niagra 2006H and measures approximately 6x8x3”. The
new cooler will be a Positech P2008C which measures 8x8.63x3.62”.
Thanks for the response.

The franklin engine I have in my 173LW is running high oil temp, 245
+. Having read recent posts, I am planning to install a larger oil
cooler with a vernatherm. I would appreciate comments from those who
have done this. Is there a modification necessary for the factory oil
bypass valve?
