Peter, the cowling mod is coordinated by FAT... they send the lower cowling out to a composite shop. The mod involves a "bulge" just below the left air inlet.

Re: PIREP on DA40 Supercharged Performance
Hi Wayne! Thanks a million for the ongoing PIREP. This is great stuff. The recommendation in my flying club is that we consider this upgrade. Were you able to determine if there was an increase in useful load?
Regards,
ChrisP

ChrisP,
In my case (40.922) there was zero change in useful load... Forced Aeromotive removed the 18 pounds of ballast I had on the front of the engine, and installed the 18 pound Supercharger.

My attempt to link the images didn't work as planned. If you right click on the word "Image" you will get an option to open the link in a new tab. Hopefully the two attempts in this post are more successful.
Cheers,
Ian
