"Well first and foremost I'd like to give a HUGE thanks to Damifino, what he did with his Venture 60 really pushed me into building a cowl from scratch."

Well mr70ss,

I'd like to give thanks to you!
After seeing your thread, I took to making a cowl from balsa as well, and forming a hatch in the nose. Using your pictures and thread as a guide.

I have an MDS .78 hidden in there

I also took modifications from everyone in the forum such as extending the rudder, elevator and ailerons. Made the tailwheel bracket from extra supports and a 3D control arm.

I did make an 'original' modification on the windshield, by turning it backwards and trimming it down to the support.
please let me know what you think!

Also added wing tips, but no flaps. And lastly an extension on the upright stab, mainly do to inspiration from a Walt Mucha, Gotcha.

I'm half tempted to swipe the color scheme as well!!! Your's turned out awesome

Thanks Again for the inspiration!!
