Howdy , Being new to this group, and
a Monday morning, my gray matter does not want to understand. Tee shirts I get,
Wet tee shirts are good on the red headed fiddler,but BUC? What's
that?
Thom
Welcome Thom,
You're actually one of the lucky ones, who didn't have to
go to counseling to try to forget the horrific image of BUC. The
first iteration of my RV-3 cowl got way out of control. I bought a
radiator that was way too big, added a turbo I had no room for, and used an
off-the-shelf intake that was far taller than the top of the cowl. I
wasted a full 2 week vacation modifying a stock cowl to fit around all this
mess, and the results were disturbing to say the least. I started
referring to the resulting offense as the Big Ugly Cowl, or BUC, and it got
adopted as a name. I considered that rev-1, with rev-2 being the current
setup (stock, bump free cowl). The recent rev-3 messages refer to the next
iteration, where I install a -C drive and larger
prop.
BTW, BUC is long gone, and I even made the local EAA
webmaster remove the pictures. BUC is best forgotten, which is of
course why John is teasing me about the tee shirts
:-)
Cheers,
Rusty
(John better hold those tee shirts until he see the tracking number for his
turbo)
