Kris,

I love the wood finish. Yeah I plan on keeping it. The main reason I wanted to get some extra cowlings is because every color goes w/wood!

Re: Different Cowlings

I talked with Grim this afternoon about the cowling I sent him. He's working on adapting it to make a plug for a plastic cowl. I sounds like the cowl will be adaptable to most 3.5 tunnels. Once Grim gets a few pulled he's sending me a couple and I will install one on my JD WOF 30. I'll post photos.

I think the photo I'm attaching shows the balsa cowling. If it doesn't, I post another shot.

OOPS!!

Wrong shot - this shows the canopy pieces glued together before it is shaped and glued to the cowl. I'll take a minute and make sure the next post shows the finished cowling.

Well, got it right that time.

Both Grim and I think it will make a nice alternative cowling.

Is it just me, or does that look like an F-16 canopy?

 

[Jerry Dunlap]

Yeah,

It does look like a F-16 canopy. I was using photos of the Rinker F1 tunnel boat as my guide.

Grim will be the source for this canopy. Once he has some pulled he'll offer them through Power Surge Racing Products.
