Default cowl installed and more....

I wish the photo had a closer view of the cowl, but you can get an idea of how it looks here. Note: I have also used only the back 1/3 of the "big bubble canopy". It worked great for a windshield and open cockpit. (I have modified the "slanted head rest" on plans, to sit at 90 degrees, and added an external head rest and some cockpit sides). The tail feathers have been rounded off, and about 1/2" added to rudder area lost in rounding. The supplied gear is only 1/8" thick. This is too thin..... for my landings anyway!!! ..I had one made by TnT, 3/16" thick and added 1" of height. I have put fat Cub wheels on the gear. (the Cub logo will be sanded off the hub caps and the caps painted). I can't wait to get this bird in the air next spring!!!!
