Cowling needed for 82 Atlas

I can't help you with cowl. I have the same kit minus the frame work and bottom ply. I started the kit and messed it up. I trashed the frame work and still have the wood for the deck and cowl and other areas. You can have it if you want. You would just have to pay for shipping.

please correct me if I'm wrong , but the Dumas cowl will need to be narrow than a cowl for a newton plan hull. My cowling need to be 4 1/2 inch wide by about 29 inches long. I believe that most of the boats built from newtons plans are closer to 5 inch wide. As for the length on my boat i moved the radio box forward so the cockpit is no longer part of the hull wicth is why mine is that length. I have talked with John Borden about his cowlings and his narrow that what i need but I'm going to see about widen that one to make it work. If you have the kit still just built the cowling as the plans state and use that as the plug to create a fiberglass one.

Take a look at my gallery. i did make a cowl off of the plans i had enlarged but it didn't turn out like i had hope, so i started to redesign some area's

I hope this help.

i would also make the bottom of the hull flat and not built it with the notched, I don't think that it is legal and it makes finding a rudder hard difficult. I also would consider installing a belly pan to help lower the motor little more. Here is some good reading RC U
RC zone

There is also a lot of good information on this board , i just didn't have it booked marked.
