Mine's a little underpowered with saito 91, but only small holes in cowl where front of valve covers show. And It's lighter with less motor. would post pics, but can't seem to with my smart phone for some reason.
Thanks Hemiflyer1
Regards the cowl and engine, I am keen to use the Tony Howard, Pacific Scale Air Filters & Exhaust stacks.
I don't suppose you'd know if the RC Specialties
http://www.rcspecialties.net/products.php?model=TH13X1A would fit without cutting the cowl ?
Looks like the Keleo
http://www.keleo-creations.com/index...roducts_id=207 exhaust stack system works but expensive & I don't think it looks as neat as Tony's dummy exhausts.
I don't have a problem cutting the cowl for the valve covers (looks cool) but I'm loathe to cut that third ugly hole for the muffler elbow if I can help it.
