No, I was going to use 3 layers but kept it at two and now I know two is enough .

if it was a large cowling with less point of connect only at the firewall, I would probably go with 3 layers.

I used the EZ surfacing epoxy, because it gives me time to apply it and it is very easy to sand

more plugging away at getting it finished, small details really add up.

The fuel filler cap, and a coat of paint on the cowling, this is not the finish, just paint to see where I can correct mistakes.

Hayes, I found the propane/butane can, and it fits the connector that came with the engine., Problem solved...

Well guys , here is the finished cowling, which is OK but the finish didn't come out as I wanted,

I'll post more pictures as I finish asssembling the airplane.
I have installed the tail feathers and started to rig and adjust the flying wires.

Also, I have installed the fuel tank, the header tank, the servos, the power board will all Fiber Optic servo control.

The engine compartment battery is installed and just now installing the receiver battery and servo battery.

Next is the engine plumbing, and then program the radio .

Hopefully will get the engine running next week but will bypass any steps to get it just right.

Do not despair, I was kept away from the shop for the last few days because of very low temperatures and a lot of snow, hopefully I will be back at it tomorow.

Stay tuned

Morning Roger,

Is that an "in-house" produced fuel filler or an off the shelf?

I know I will if I can ever get there, I was hoping to be there before this stupid cold weather

As I am writing this , the temperature is -17c, So far I don't think I will do an engine run , too cold for me anyway

Roger,

Now that fueler is what I've been looking for......no more pulling/pushing tubing to fuel, no more searching for a "large" screwdriver to unscrew the cap, and no more growing 3 inch fingernails to try and pry a fuel cap out.

Hope you don't mind me posting the pics of the fueler here.

Your site is bookmarked my friend.

Bill
