showplanes cowl
The showplaces cowl actually has an inner fairing to smooth the flow around the nose gear...

The -8 has an exit ramp inset into the belly, so the inset has sidewalls. The stock ramp is aluminum. A stainless overlay for a 10 could be curled at the cowl end, very much like the ramp in the foreground (here upside down on the bench), a one piece SS panel with integral sidewalls for an -8. ![]() |

There's a lot to work around down there on the -10. |

I removed the heater cuff off of the right side. I have never missed it.
The scat from the left side connects to the SS diverter during winter and dumps overboard in the summer. That alone solves most of the problem. When it is in use it goes into a Y in the tunnel to provide heat fore and aft and it is plenty. In the summer I also use exhaust tip extenders since I have an A/C duct. The fresh air that used to supply the right side cuff now goes direct to the SS firewall diverter and from there straight into the tunnel to ventilate it with cool fresh air. . In winter I have to close the valve in cruise because it gets cold to the touch. With this controllable setup, my tunnel and fuel plumbing stay ?room temperature? year round. |
