Default RE: One Design Build

Try as I may, I couldn't make the original cowl mounting work out. I ended up cutting a sliver off the back side of the cowl, 0 at top, 3/8" at bottom. This resulted in a new firewall and re-fitting the engine. I'm happy with the result.
At this point the fuselage and tail are just about completed, a couple more details remain. It's time to move onto the wings. The wings will be jig built foam rib construction. The last time I was at the local Lowes, I noticed the 1/2" foam sheeting was light green in color. I've use pink and light blue before, I kinda excited to see how the green stuff cuts, I don't really expect any difference.
I need to take a few days off to get my Extra 200 readly for the maiden flight. Be back soon.
