Jeeum,
The builder prefers to do the cowling and wheel pants out of balsa for the only reason but to be able to use Monokote which he is so good at using. He does not paint and likes the idea of putting forth the extra effort for a bonus score when the judges consider the plane overall. Anymore, the Aerobatic planes are all done so good, that something has to be done to put you ahead in the judges mind. That is why he also cut all the graphics out of Monokote also.
By the way, I have not weighed the cowling as of yet, but when he has done my Extra cowlings out of wood in the past, they weigh in all finished with covering Less then the fiberglass cowling with the ply parts and glass work before they are put together.
He is a craftsman. |

I kinda of figured that might be the reason.
