Paul,
I measured the firewall dimensions for my Lancair ES today.  It is
46.5"across and 31.5 high at the firewall, with a 14* aft tilt.
The 31.5"
measurement is a verticle measurement, measured straight up from
the lower
lip of the firewall.

I also cut some D-shaped cardboard templates to see how the new design
might look.  I took some pictures, but left the camera at the
airport. Actually, I like it better than the stock cowl inlets.
There'sroom down either side for a 19" x 28" x 2" radiator.  I
feel that I could
modify the existting cowl using foam and glass.

Great Mark I'll adjust the cowl 3D's. Jarret has offered to
machine a 3D foam buck for a new cowl mold. He has a huge NC machine
he built himself. One of these days he is going to send me pictures.

Sorry Paul, still playing catch up w/ emails [had an ATPL course this
last weekend]..
I'll get some pic's off at some point. The mill is dirtier than
all get out right now due
to latest projects. Anyway can't wait to see the models.. Are we
just going to do the cowls
or the interior ducting as well?

Jarrett [I linked to some vid's of it didn't i?  [can't remember]]

We could do the interior ducting as well.
