Status: offline 		Thanks for the pics, every one is appreciated.

Well I got around to mounting the cowl tonight. The kit comes with aluminum brackets and 1/4" nylon screws, however the screws have very big heads on them an so I drilled out new holes for some smaller headed screws. I threaded them into the bracket then mounted a rubber gasket on top of the bracket. I need to find a small rubber washer for the screw but I'm confident it will be strong. If not I can always add another set of screws but it's better looking than that big head sitting on the cowl.

There is nothing worse than a flimsy cowl and I felt the joint between the two halves were not that strong and could easily flex and perhaps chip the paint or something worse, so.......Carbon Fiber to the rescue!! 2 layers of 5oz on the center line should make it nice and strong.

I decided it was time to start glassing the control surface. I had some 2.3oz satin cloth kicking around so I thought I would us it on the aileron to make it a little more durable. The ball link sticks out from the surface and I was trying to think of what I could use so it doesn't get damaged or resin on it. I looked around and .........hey.....look at that fuel tubing over there..... perfect fit!!

Status: offline 		Well i'm sad to say the project has been sitting on the shelf for the last 2 years. I guess I just needed a break form it but I think this year I'm going to finish it....starting to feel the need to build again. I was given a G62 and I'm going to try and use it with the purr power muffler, it'll take some altering but I think it can be done.

When I start in on it again i'll be posting here.

Thanks.

Status: offline 		Not sure about the maiden flight yet! Trying to get the engine running. Zenoah G62, having trouble getting it started. It fires but will not seem to run. Checking out carb might have to put a kit in it. Bought engine on RCU, and have never had it running yet. Hopefully things come around and I can get it in the air very soon!! Thanks for the comments!
