Default Venture 60 Cowl

Take a look at what I did with mine. Go to the http://www.venture60.com site and scroll down to Washington, click on Jeff and see my engine cowl. I mounted my .91 4 stroke on the side and built a balsa cowl between the cheeks. I added a chin scoop to make sure the engine got enough air in the carb intake. I also added 1 inch to the rudder and made a dual elevator pushrod for the separate elevator halves. I have since found out that this might not have been a good idea, I am getting flex in the pushrod and both halves do not go up the same when there is a lot of air pressure on them. You would have to go with a more solid pushrod to each half or use the joiner between the two as per plan.
