Hi Guys,

Sorry for the belated reply. I have been out of town.

My Saito 120 fit fine in the cowl per DPM instructions. I did not have to cut the cowl. The engine is obviously side mounted but it is not at a strick 90 degrees from vertical. I stood the fuselage vertical and sat the engine and mount on the firewall. I then placed the cowl. I had to rotate the engine slightly to get the best fit in the cowl. I am centered on the cowl hub opening. My plane tracks perfectly strait on the vertical.

I am using a saito exhaust extention bringing the extention strait down to exit out of the right side of the cowl. I flew this morning for the second time. First time with cowl on. I did not get any good in flight shots but I do have a few photos for you. What a great flying plane. I did touch and goes and practiced my slips. It slips like the real thing.

Here are a few photos. Hopefully I will get some good flight photos at some point.

Scott
