I think Blair had the 106 on his airframe... pulled it around quite well!

Yea, the 3W106 on mine rips it....I dont have many flights on it but the power is great!

dont have a pdf file i just did trial and error till i found what worked the best.
thickness- birch wood ply 1/8th
length -9 1/2 inches
width -6 inches

hope this helps. i also noticed that my knife edge loops were tighter with them on.
i just loves the way it fly's with it on plus it looks cool. im my years of flying i never had the nerve to do a harrier landing. and just yesterday i did one on a paved parking lot because it was so smooth and steady. i was ecstatic about it. did my first harrier landing. so cool.

Stock mufflers or cans?? I might have to mount up the 106!! Are they any heavier than a da 100??

Did anyone have any misalignment on the cowl lines? Seems to be that if I even up the lines on one side the other side is off I would say between 1/4 and 1/2 and inch. I am really not one to be so picky but it really looks awful with the lines being how they are. I am starting to get bummed with all the stuff i have had to do and buy. Silver overspray in canopy, missing hardware and wrong pilot which btw chris took care of as soon as he found out. I am in no way flaming EF they are kick a$$ and customer service is best in the biz. I am just trying to see if anyone else had similair issues. Cant post pics right now as I am on duty stuck on the ship till tomorrow evening

Hi Bryan.
Yes, As a matter of fact I too have the misaligned cowl stripes, it looks crappy. You would think that for over a thousand bucks the lines would match up. I sent Curtis digital pictures but he never bothered to get back with me on it. My turnbuckles were missing as well, but they did replace them. I would very much like this cowl replaced. Call me if you'd like to talk about it. Send me a PM & I'll give you my number.

Well I sent an email to EF and am waiting to see what comes of it and I too would like it replaced. I also agree I payed a grand and would not like to see these problems.

[Phil Griffin]

I'll send Curtis another E-Mail. It's possible he never got the first one. I would like another cowl, especially now knowing others have the same problem.

Do you have the Red version as well?

[Phil Griffin]

Here it is:

I just sent Curtis another e-mail. This is obviously a QC issue. They should replace the defective ones.

Could be a QC issue but if we are the only 2 then we are just unlucky .. Hopefully we hear something soon I really can't see having to pay another 100 dollars for a cowl.

Can you post a picture with the cowl on it? I'm curious to see how bad it is.
