For those using the EZ cool flap, are you happy with its performance? Has it made an appreciable difference in CHT's for you? Is the actuator holding up?

Thanks in advance for any product reviews on this.

The EZ cowl flap(s) work as advertised. I added two to my IO-540 powered -7 and they keep the CHT and oil temps 30+ cooler on climb out. Once leveled off and temps stabilize, I pick up 7 knots once they're closed. They are robust and well engineered, but honestly, one actuator developed an internal wiring issue, which I mentioned previously, and it was replaced speedily without question. Nothing is 100% but ASA comes pretty darn close.

Also I simply glued mine into the cowl with Hysol E20NS...no rivets without any issues. Just my $.02 as I have no affiliation with them other than being a happy customer. Woody.

Thanks. I'm working through the usual suspects list of fixes for high CHTs on #4 and to a lesser extent #2. I may be headed for the cowl flap option.

I too have a single cowl flap on the left side on my -9A. Its bolted in and super easy to service. Allen has been very helpful and support super speedy.

Default Anti-Splat Aero Jack Points

Throwing in my plug for Anti Splat Aero. They delivered two very high quality jack points for my RV. Good price, fast shipping and good quality stuff.

I need one of those! An open-end wrench just doesn't cut it. Unfortunately, they're "Out of Stock". The last time I installed a filter, like a fool I used motor oil on the gasket rather than DC-4. I'll never make that mistake again.
