Also scaleman or bill let me know how far past the cowl u were if u can remember.

Ted are you referring to the prop hub being 14 mm past the front of the cowl?
If so I wouldn't worry about that distance, just a hair past 1/2". I looked in the
manual I printed from Kangke's site and I don't see a reference in the prop being
a certain distance from the cowl.
OK I just went and found a 3-view of the DLE 35R and see that it is a total of 160 mm
in length, and my guess is that be referring to 146 mm that is the depth of the cowl from
front edge to firewall, if that is the case, 14 mm of clearance shouldn't be a problem, I would
generally not get any closer than 1/4", on my last Mr. mulligan I had the prop approx. 3/8"
or 9-10 mm forward of the front of the cowl.
Oh and BTW mine will arrive tomorrow, Wednesday, 16th
