Next task is to start making the fiberglass cowl up front. Motor attached, and spacer put in behind the spinner backplate. Next is to rough in some foam to carve to shape, then glass cloth and epoxy.

Not been doing a lot on this lately. however, since the aileron servos needed a 12" extension and the connection would be deeply buried, I figured the most foolproof retainer would be shrink tubing.
