It’s killing me that it’s taking this long but I’m having vendor issues like everyone out here. First it was Covid now it’s not enough people and the shop is swamped. I have the prototype cowling in my shop working the fit issue that I had between the upper and lower cowling. I have the major issue resolved and am now doing the bodywork to ensure the parts fit nicely. My big concern will be how long to get the mold modified or a new one made when I’m done with the bodywork! I will get this done. I’m too far in it financially to back out or give up. Seems to be another typical aviation story with bringing a new product to market. Thank you, David 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammdo Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 His first version was a retrofit to the existing cowling - fiberglass. his latest is a full cowling... -Don 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabremech Posted June 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Just now, 201Steve said: Was it Carbon? Pics? Version 2 is a complete new cowling g that’s all carbon with a layer of fiberglass to allow for sanding and painting. It’s incredibly light compared to the original cowling.

Something like that would look gorgeous if you ever did a rocket mod cowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
