Re: Christen-Eagle Carbon Fiber Wolf Cowl for Eagle

[Rob Riege]

I see that Benny Davis has advertised on his site that he is making carbon versions of the traditional Eagle Cowl $2200 as well as a "Delmar Benjamin Style Cowling" $2000.  Perhaps not as finished as finished as Chris' but according to the testimonial from one customer, it seems to be a performance & convenience improvement.

 "By using the Delmar Benjamin Cowl that Benny Davis produced, I was able to cut nearly 20 lbs off the nose of my Eagle.  With this cowl, it is necessary to relocate the oil cooler, which is mounted directly onto a stock cowl. However this makes for easier servicing, as you can then expose the engine without having to unmount the oil cooler.  My Eagle is now lighter, more streamlined, has improved airflow over the cooling fins, airflow into the oil cooler and air intake, and has improved climb performance, serviceability and looks.  I get compliments from everyone that sees the plane, including Sean D. Tucker! Happy does not begin to describe how I feel about the purchase I made from Benny Davis! Worth every penny!" ~ Layne Lisser ~ Competitive Pilot

Wolf Cowl for Eagle - OK Eagle fans, Chris Murley of Griggs Aircraft (http://www.griggsaircraft.com/wolf_products) the heir to the Wolf throne, has agreed to make a CF Wolf Cowl for the Eagle if we can get three buyers. Cost is $4500. Its a Carbon Fiber Cowl, would look very similar to Sean Tucker or Skip Stewarts Cowl. Roughly 20 pounds lighter, easy on/off, much less drag and better cooling. I have no hard numbers because....there's not a Wolf Cowl for the Eagle yet! Pitts drivers who have converted have reported 10 -12 mph faster cruise, folks that is HUGE! Also much lower CHT's and oil temps. I'll take an extra 10 mph cruise anyday! I'm in so we only need two more, my bird would be in his shop and having all the fitting done. Lets do it, single biggest improvement you can make to your Eagle!
