Use the plywood packing from the shipping box to make your cowl ring.

Take Care

With twenty-six hundred dollars wrapped up in the plane--I'll fly mine 3 mistakes high, too...

To those interested in the cowl ring idea---I used two thicknesses of the packing plywood, glued together.

Still waiting for "maiden flight" weather here in Ohio.

Not quite that light.
The smoke system weighs only 10 ounces dry, so I'm at 17 pounds, 15 ounces without it (mind as well call it 18, huh?) .
Thanks,
V1

We had a cold front come thru (30's) and I decided to just hang out at home with my daughter

I just happen to see two other ARF company's playing catch up by coming out with there own 50cc Pitts models. I
can truly say that they do not have the scale lines or the looks of your Pitts.
