Default RE: Carden Cuda Build

Well, this maybe a bump for this thread but I have a question about the cowling on the Carden Cuda. I just got my Cuda the other day and flew it for the first time, this is my first carden aircraft. I did not build it myself but I hired a proffessional builder to build one for me. Anyway, my question with the cowl is when it is properly bolted on the front and the engine is running at low throttle, around 1/4 to 3/8, it will shake back and forth and makes a pretty big rattling sound. Once it gets past 3/8 throttle, things will smooth out and the rattle goes away. We can not figure out just what is causing that or the best way to fix it. The builder says it might be that the fiberglass cowl could be slightly thinner than usual. Would anyone have a suggestion for a good way to fix this problem?

Thanks
