RE: Paramount 52/70
Salty--
Your plane looks great. Thinking back, I had to dremmel out most of the lower front portion of the cowl to allow clearance for the OS 70 cylinder. I was only able to save a small (.25" +/-) strip of cowling. I'm sure it will crack first time it's flown. Doesn't show though unless you look closely. Keep us up to date with your first flights and impressions.
