Thanks Cody, I'm pretty happy with it.....thankfully. Lots of time and money invested in this cowl.

My second one looks a little less like a kindergartner did the filler LOL. However with the gelcoat it is still only .2oz lighter than the first try. Probably because the filler material is actually 75% micro balloons so there is basically no weight with that. Still happy, a cowl this size that is basically ready to scuff and prime and weighs 15oz without the holes cut in the front.

So last night I cut myself a kit that I plan to start on later today if it works, but most likely tomorrow. I want to test fit my DA100L before I ship it back to DA for some service.

Pictured are all of the laser and CNC parts for the kit, including SFG's, CNC cut control horns with mounting blocks. The cowl ring is also flush fit to the back of the cowl so the cowl does not overlap the fuselagehttp://www.GiantScaleNews.com/forums/images/smilies/198.gifhttp://www.GiantScaleNews.com/forums/images/smilies/198.gifTakes extra time and effort to get tolerances that close, but hey.....if yer gonna do it, do it right is my motto.


Looking great.

Rick posted some cool pics of foam cutting over at the other place (where the crickets are chirping loudly I must add). Maybe he'll post them over on this thread. CNC foam cutting looks just too cool, good thing I have enough tool / toy's already.
