No I will not have cowl cheeks since I am using a turbo prop engine , I have also extended the front end by 2 inches to accomodate the lighter engine. Roger

A little more work on the cowling, but lots more to do before fiberglassing. Roger

Roger, What chemical will you use to melt the foam? I've tried gasoline, thinner, acetone, and MEK. Everything I tried seemed to leave a bunch of goop behind, this was lost foam cowls. It might work better on a tank as the fluid will trapped inside. Nice work. |

Tony, I will use acetone to remove the foam, you have to rince thoroughly more then once with acetone. Roger

Hi Rodger , My friend just finished a old Laser kit with a DA-50 and I'll get to test fly it next weekend , Just thought you might like the colors and get some ideals for when you finish this one .

Thanks for the pictures, I like it . Let me know how the flight went .. I haven't given up on the build , as matter of fact I worked on it most of the day making small parts but didn't take any pictures, which I should as this is part of it, Ok I'll take more pictures tomorow.  Roger
