well I should have tried the drilling out the holes a bit more before snugging up the screws. evidently the Inner ring on my cowl was a tad underglued and as soon as I snugged up the last screw I hear a lil pop and the cowl falls onto the workbench. I swear I read ARF somewhere when I bought this plane.... anyway I think I have some fiberglass mix somewhere and some really light cloth. Im going to make a new ring and line it up correctly. Don't get me wrong I enjoy tinkering and modifications but I usually get to fly the plane a bit before having to make such major modifications to an ARF plane. anyway back to the drawing board [:@]
