Default RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

Ok guys... I just want to give you the latest on my plane. I finally finished cutting the cowl and getting everything fit. I installed the RX just infront of the wing joiner on the bottom. For the cowl I just need to pretty it up and start drilling the holes for the screws. With my previous experience with cowls i had a lot of cracking where the screws were so i layed fiberglass all around so when i drill the holes for the screws it wont start cracking with stress. I scrached the paint on the cowl pretty good while trying line up a hole for the highspeed needle so im going to spray the inside with some of the topflite paint to fuel proof it / cover the scraches a little.
As for the exhaust that i was working on for a while i came up with a little solution. I just pointed the muffler towards the inside so it will spray out the bottom. Looks pretty good and i didn't have to hack the cowl up that much.
Here is some pictures. I used my cell phone camera, hense the crappy resolution. Just a little lazy setting up the real one.
