You're doing great. Who cares how long it takes, just means you had more fun.

Were the engine forms part of the cowl, or did you buy them separately? I've been flying my BUSA cub for a few years with no engine forms sticking out of the cowl, probably should buy some or make some. Maybe I'll fabricate them out of balsa, when I get a little time. (No, wait, that's why it doesn't have 'em!)

Keep up the good work, and don't forget to go flying too!
