thanks for the quick reply kevin! i started flying my t-34 the other day after it was given to me by a fellow club member. he says that it is to be loved then if posible, passed on in time. well, i crashed on take-off yesterday and i need a new canopy, engine mount and a new cowl for starters. i love this little plane and i am eager to get back in the air with it. i was wanting to change the cowl anyway sence i took it over and put my st 40 2 stroke in the nose. the original owner had a .52 4-stroke in it and the cowl had to be cut again to fit my engine. the cowl is on the must change list now for sure.
