Smokey, I just slipped my cowling on and it lines up OK. The crankshaft is in the center of the cowling cutout for the propshaft to go through. I did notice what you were saying about the slope of the rear deck. Mine to looks like it does not follow the line of the fuse exactly, but if you'll notice the rear of the fuselage slopes upward on the bottom too. The cowling appears to center itself on these two lines, top and bottom. Put the wings on and check it out, it look a lot better.
