RE: Sig Kougar or Top Flite Contender
I HATE plastic cowls and SIG over uses them, just junk they throw on everything along with plastic top decking and other idiotic conveniences that slow down construction and hasten the longevity of their designs. Really it's SIG's chronic betenoir, and the reason I'll never touch them. So go with the GP TF Contender and modify it with a real built in nose section, or build a nice kwik Fli or Kaos, and use fillets!
