It wont bother it a bit. Just make sure your engine box and fire wall are well sealed. The end of the fire wall on one of mine wasnt and the fuel wicked into the fire wall from the end turning it all green and soft. Its amazing how flexable ply will get.

I've never had a problem with it but I paint all of the wood surfaces with two coats of Minwax Clear Polyeurethane to protect them. Nothing seems to get through that stuff. No reason you couldn't do the same to the inside of the cowl. I've cleaned that stuff with carb cleaner and it doesn't hurt it.

I'm wishing I would have sealed the ply ring on the cowl... after further inspection, it has a soft spot now and is coming un-glued after 5 flights... What would you recommend to try to re-glue this with??? 'course I don't know if any glue will stick to it now anyway.

Status: offline 		Okay, If you're really desperate there is a product on the market that draws break fluid out of brake shoes. It comes in a spray can. DO NOT SPRAY IT ONTO YOUR COWL!!! You can however spray a small amount into the lid and apply it to the wood with a Q-Tip. This may draw the fuel out of the wood and allow you to re-epoxy it. It contains CARBON TETRACHLORIDE so be careful with it should you decide to try it. Also clamp the section of wood between two pieces of hard wood to keep it from seperating. Allow it to dry for at least two days. If you do, and have success, I would highly recommend that you paint the inside of the cowl and the cowl ring with Minwax clear polyeurethane after re-epoxying the affected ring area. Two to three coats applied with a brush. Let each coat dry before applying the next. I can't guarentee that this will work for you but it is what I would try if I were in your situation.

Status: offline 		Graphic's look great! I had brad do me a set for my WH Edge 540 1.20, and still looks great after two years. On my WH Edge 28% I went with a different sceme. Mine are a combination of Chrome with Carbon fiber back ground and the word " Edge 540 has flames coming off it. Looks pretty cool. I see you also went with a CF Super Gear. Brad does do great work tho.

Status: offline 		Finally got my Wild Hare Edge flying good. Did 4 flights today and had a great day. I had to remount the firewall and add several degrees of RH thrust. Mine came without any. Somehow I'd introduced some downthrust when I did the firewall. Shimed it out to zero and today was the first day I've flown it since the mods. Had a great day with it. Flew excellent. Only problem I saw was KE from left to right . Had a bunch of coupling to the belly. Right to left it had a little coupling but nothing you couldn't just fly it out of.

I'm getting some of the tightest and fastest waterfalls I've ever seen. And it very easy to hover. Sooooo easy to land...So fun to fly. Even got the engine running good.

Lots of fun.

Thanks
Barry
