The first cowl is out of the mold.

I use resin infusiuon with vacuum to get the optimal resin/fiber ratio.



I made 2 version.
One with 2 layers of 160g m2 carboon. Final weight for one cowl half is 55g (left one in picture)
And one with one layer of 110g fiberglass and one layer of 160g carboon. The weight is 44g for that half (right one in picture)

The lighter version is probobly strong enough but i will go for the stronger one. About 110g for a complete cowl is not bad at all.
