RE: Looking for a post on cutting a cowl
I got it pretty close using brown wrapping paper: [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7276786/mpage_5/key_/tm.htm]Post #119[/link]
And, I also had some issues getting the cowl over the engine. I ended up with the front open more than I wanted. Some guys have gone back in and bolted the front/dummy engine in after the cowl is mounted.
