I'll try and finish the cowl and see how well it fits. As far as the original cowl goes, don't let the stock one scare you away it's functional, looks fine and allows easy access to adjust and tune the "under the hood stuff. The swoosh patterns are rough cut and I just haven't fine tuned them in order to cut the Monokote and complete them, maybe I should do this prior to the first flight. Generally a great build but I had other issues with the kit with missing parts which were replaced with a phone call, and landing gear wire incorrectly bent that I just replaced myself. All in all the model was easy to build with some interesting ideas on construction. Also the manual doesn't have any control surface setup information, I tried calling mosquitobite yesterday and went to voice-mail, maybe Ken will see this post and respond with his experience and some info on control throws. Hopefully I will get it in the air this weekend. The sun came up 07:30 with broken cloud, scattered showers and 7 C. I will be publishing a full review on our club web page, if anyone is interested I'll post the URL here.

Have a great day all
