here is the cowl you can look here and get an idea of where to cut. I cut this cowl up more after turning the engine for the muffler to clear you can see there is a cut out in front of the carb you dont have to cut that out after i moved the engine a bit i cut it out but it just made it look bad. i have ordered another cowl and i will cut it much smaller and not butcher it as bad. This is my first large plane and im happy with it so far but i hope this pics help you anymore you need just let me know.
