I am building a H9 1/4 CAP 232 and was wondering when you fit the cowl before glueing the wing half if you have to cut andy of the cowl? The cowl doesn't fit all the way onto the palne. Also are the wing halves supposed to hang down from he fuse by about a half an inch over lap? The end that the wing dowls go in, the wing sticks up about a half an inch and if not flush to the fuse. How do you fix it? Or is it right? Any and all input would be helpful.

As long as the wing is tight in saddle areathen there is not much you can do about but that is common(if memorey serves me tight).and depending on the motor and how fa out you have it yo might have to cut thr cowl out a little so it goes all the way on.
The plane fies good but does have a tip stall to it on finale but a little extra air speed on landingncures that.

The dowel holes that were cut out in the fuse for the wing dowel rods were not even close to being right. I had to cut out quite a bit of wood to allow the wing to fit right. I also strengthen it up by using 1/4 ply instead of the supplied 1/16 ply for the dowel backing plate that you have to glue into the fuse. By all reports from others the supplied plates will wear the holes out in no time.
