Great Pete. Glad you found one. I hope no one beat you to it.
I was going to throw my damaged cowl out but, I think I'll keep it and repair it. It won't look great but, it will fit and and do the job. Glad I ordered the new one when I did. I had a hunch I'd be needing one and ordered it ''just in case''.

I got it Joe, they sent me a letter confirming it and it's on the way.
Good news, my phone call complaint and emails are moving forward up the chain of command.
Peter, the cowl has been discontinued and we are not getting any more in at this time. Your comments have been forwarded to the Hangar 9 team for review and maybe sometime in the future we may have something to help you. Hope it helps and have a great day.
Thank You,

While I'm being a pain in everyones butt I ask that you all continue with your push to have Horizon to bring this plane back or make a another round of parts. The issue is many on the forums say a product is in high demand, but when it comes to brass tax, they don't order anything or complain- leaving us who really need the stuff stranded, and the manufacturer stuck with the bill.
It seems no one really cares about ARF aircraft and it seems only the kits are mostly always supported because people build or rebuild off the blueprints. Fiberglass Specialties declined my offer of giving him my new cowl and making a mold from it. He thinks he will only sell maybe 2 a year and that's not profitable. I kept my mouth shut because I was itching to ask him if selling 2 cowls a year was any better then selling no cowls at all, but I just listened to what he had to say even though I think he's more into the money like the rest.
Anyway, I test flew the Fokker yesterday- here is the result:
