<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma color=#0067ce>All of this talk has gotten me motivation to finish my design up and build it. I am still stumped at this juncture with regard to the structure of it. My buddy Joey Hayes built a plane back in 2001 (If I remember correctly) that was about the same fuse volume as my airplane and his came out at 9.75 give or take from what he was telling me the other day. That was with a built up wood cowl, Hydeout wings and stabs (foam), and completely covered in Monokote. I was going to go with a CF cowl and chin cowl, but what he was telling me has gotten me wondering about it. It certainly would be easier to finish, as I am much more competent with a covering iron than I am with fiberglass and paint, or at least I think I am, I have never glassed and painted before. But the cowl is rather curvy so I think glass or CF would be easier. </FONT></DIV>
