Default RE: Extreme Flight__88

Barry, glad to hear that the Edge arrived in good shape. Thanks for your feedback, we will certainly take these things into consideration. On some of our larger aircraft we do use a cowl ring but we forgo this on the 50cc size aircraft due to weight. A plywood cowl ring that is sufficiently glued and glassed into place adds 6 ounces to the weight of the cowl. That is getting close to adding a half a pound of unnecessary weight to a 50cc airframe, I just can't do that!
