Roger,

That turbo prop is going to be bad !!! It looks good in there. Have you decide what to do about a cowl? I just got my set of plans from Jack this week. Keep up the good work.

Keith,
I will carve out a cowl out of foam, when pleased with it, fiberglass it and remove the foam.

Right now I am looking for comparable size Extra 260 canopy to fit my laser..

Enjoy building yours, its a fun build and this airplane is going to be light..

Roger

That thing is going to look sick with the turbo prop on it. Can't wait to see it when its covered.

Are you going to streamline the cowl in a similar manner to full scale turbo props?
