Cowl continued:
This series of photos shows the partially completed top cowl fitted to the airframe followed by both top and bottom halves, and then finally with the prop just stuck on the motor.
A portion of the bottom half cowl will have to be cut away to make room for the muffler.
The cowl will be sheeted in 1/8" balsa except for the front round part behind the spinner which will have 1/16" sheeting because of the curvature.
I'll probably use screws to mount the bottom half of the cowl, and magnets to hold the top half on. This way I can get at the needles on the carb without having to unscrew the top half.
Next up - the fully sheeted cowl...
