Glad to hear it's only the cowl. You'd be screwed if more damage was done than that as the new color scheme is pretty ugly.

I maidened mine this weekend and I am really going to enjoy this plane. It seems as though the recommended CG of 3.26" behind the leading edge is too tail heavy and I had to add a little bit of weight under the gear. The Evo 46 swinging an 11X6 pulls it around great. It does not have unlimited vertical but still very good vertical. This is a fun plane for sure and I am really going to like it more than my Twist (now in the hands of another flyer at my field).

Don't get me wrong, the Twist was fun but nothing to write home about IMO. I am really more into scale aerobatics rather than 3d stuff which is probably why I feel the way I do about the Twist.
