Pete,
right, thanks. On second revision last night, I removed my comment as I had forgotten about F9 - the former just forward of the stab. I was looking at F9 thinking it should look like F8...
Was the glass cowl an option from Ron or were the plans and sides he sent you designed/cut for a built up wood cowl? What's the purpose of the U-shaped cutout for the nose gear on the underside? Do I see a ply plate for a tuned pipe mount on the right side above the saddle?

PS Sounds like Spring will break out the spray gun!
