Default RE: Sig Four Star 60 cowl from scratch w/ inverted Saito 100

Hi All - first post here.

First I'd like to say thanks for all the good stuff that goes on here!

Well, doing my first build - 4*60. I've been researching all the modifications other folks have made and I'm not really sure how to go off on my own and do some of these.

Windshield - Flip it around and make it smaller - and how do you tint it darker?
Tail wheel bracket modification - what are the details on how to make the tail wheel bracket better - like dragonjohn's
Shorter wing - what are the pros and cons to this mod?
Dihedral - I already built mine with the 2 degree, but I haven't joined them yet - should I leave it, or should I try to make it flat?
I like to do inverted flying and all that as much as the next guy.
Wingtips - Like the idea, but don't know where to start. - Think I may be able to handle this though
Larger control surfaces - Add an inch to everything? or by how much?
Cowl - Definitely - this means side mounted, or inverted - inverted looks better, but how difficult is it to lower the fuel tank - is it a gamble to get it running good inverted - using an OS 65 LA - right now, planning on side mounting it, unless someone can talk me into the inverted (does the 65 have enough power? do you have to mount it so that it has a little side thrust?)

Thats all I really have questions on... lol

Thanks all in advance for your input!
