The manual does have a pic of the throttle servo but that location will not work with my application

Progresss is slow due to work. When i git home at 11:30 last night i found a box in the mail with my pitts muffler from jtec. Thts the only muffler i found that fit the dle 61. Fits like it was made for this plane. image.jpg

7954's everywhere. I installed the cowl tonight. Was much more of a job than i expected. First i had to cut about 3/8" off the stingers. Ive never had to do that before and i hate cutting on a $90 muffler but it had to be done. Then cutting the cowl took awhile to get a good clean cut. image.jpg

Very nice cowl install!

Regarding covering:

Not much can be done about the covering once it leaves the factory. It's one of those things that is affected by weather of any kind, and these things do get to us by sea. Lots of weather changes out there that can cause all kinds of whack covering wrinkles, and it's up to us to ensure that everything is tight once we receive the airplane. Tightening up covering on a brand new kit doesn't bother me in the slightest, it's rarely the manufacturers fault, and even just letting it hang in the sun for an hour or 2 at the club can cause it to wrinkle.

I agree however i think some are tightened better from the factory than others

I agree as well. That Aeroworks Yak for the AMA Youth Camp Benefit is wrinkle free since I've had it on my workbench and my Pilot Extra wrinkles like an old man every year.
