| Bad-ass Super Contributer!    |  I NEED A COWL
I need a cowl for my Aeroworks 33% Edge 540t. I reached Aeroworks and they dont have them. Does anyone have one new or used that they do not need and could sell to me? Jamie

If this is the old 33% 540T/36% 540, the new 35% 540T may be the same size cowl. I have the old 33% 540T and the dimensions on the airframe are about the same as the new 35% "T" version. This may be worth looking into if you can't find one. Carroll |

Ya If I can rind either one it would be great. I can always mod the 35% size if it does not fit.

I have made a few myself and it's not that hard. If you want super finnish this might not bee it. But if you put a little effort in and are a bit handy the result is quite satisfying. You take a big pice of styrofoam (or several thinner glued together with PU glue) and give it a profile shape. From the side and from the top. The rest you shape with a sharp knife and finally sand it to the finnish. Once you got the exact and correct shape you want wrap it with plastic film. Then you are ready for 2-3 layers of fiberglass with epoxi. The plastic film makes it easy to get the plug out. I really hope you find it somewhere but otherwise this could be a rescue for your model. Kent PS. I have a tread here were you can find a model i scratch buildt with the cowl made just like this. Good luck |
