Super Chief, An FG cowl is a cowl made from fiberglass. There are many threads on making molds and using fiberglass, so I won't bore you with the details here. Sorry I didn't take pictures of the process 'cause I keep getting asked about. Just do a search for making fiberglass cowls, here or try utube for a video. Fiberglassing is a really useful tool to know in this hobby. Thanks for the compliment on mine.
FG=fiberglass (Man what a "senior moment") DUH.
I was so impressed with the way yours blended in on the sides that I could have sworn it was balsa with a real good sanding and filling job.
Anyway, I thank you very much for that and I too wish you would have taken pictures.
I also notice you have an interest in the Skybolt. I am retired (twice) and only in the past few years gotten interested in the hobby, so I am collecting as much info as I can so I can build a decent airplane at least from a kit.
