Nice work, looks like they will be low, sleek cowlings.
Looking good!! I've been wondering how your project was progressing.
Thanks guys for the kind words! I am about halfway finished with the lower cowling mold. The recent cold weather is slowing me down so I switched to doing wiring. I am fabricating harnesses now for a dual VPX system. I will have a few recent photos soon. Hope to have avionics & wiring completed sometime this summer. I will be working closely with Craig Catto to build my props. I will be using 60" 2 blade wood core with carbon fiber coating and stainless leading edges. Craig does amazing work with props and look forward to working with him.
