Cowl update:
While 'cleaning up' the work bench, I found a set of DLE standoffs. The standoffs were under a box. I now have any extra set as I thought I needed them for the engine mount.
Since the DLE standoffs were included plus the extra standoffs that are half lengths, plus the fact that the included mounting bolts just happen to be the right length to secure the engine and 1/2 length standoffs to the full length DLE standoffs, I'm guessing this is how the engine is to be mounted (even though the instruction book doesn't show it).
Fake exhausts:
I sanded away excess molding along the inside of the black exhaust pipes and cut some 3/32" thick ply and epoxied the ply into the back of the exhaust pipes. This will give me a mechanical as well as glue bond to the cowl.
Fuel tank:
I'm sure the kit came with a fuel stopper but can't find it. The tank is a 'near' identical to dubro's 32 oz so a new one will be made.
