Edge 540

Where can I find a fiberglass cowl and good landing gear for this plane? My kit has plastic parts, and the metal wire landing gear is too heavy. I really like the plane and I want it to perform as good a possible. I want to make this into a real pattern flier.
I have done the following:
-lightened wherever possible
-ordered good hardware ( heavy duty clevises, aluminum servo arms, precision linkages...)
-lighter foam wheels
-good tailwheel assembly
-mounted fuel tank on CG
-started a penny jar for a YS 110!!!!!![8D]
Anyone know where I can find the cowl, or know what LG will fit? Any other ideas?
Thanks

Thank you!
Which one, the 1/8" or the 3/16? Is this for the kit, or their new larger ARF?

Anyone know about any cowls?

If trying to save weight then you should go with saito instead of OS, more power and less weight on the saito

Go with Stans for the glass cowl and wheel pants. They also sell aluminum gear for that plane

I've got the Stan's cowl with the extension for the Pitts muffler on mine along with the pants from Stans--no complaints there! I've experimented with different gear and have found my favorite is from graphtech. http://www.graphtechrc.com/Secure/mall/maingear.asp . They have a nice tailwheel as well.

I said YS. It is .5 oz heavier than my super tigre 90, and I will be able to run a pressurized tank on the CG.
Thanks for the cowl suggestions. Is $38 the best price? Thats awefully expensive for a 60 size extra....
