Cowl needed for 28% Pitts 12
I am scratch building the Pitts Model 12 and I need to source a cowl for this airplane. The profile of the cowl resembles a lot of the Yak style airplanes which I see a lot of these days.
Anyone know where I can get a 12 or 13 inch radial cowl resembling this profile

RE: Cowl needed for 33% Pitts 12
My advise.
Wait on that scratch building stuff.
That plane seems to be the next flavor of the month and I'm sure there will be plenty of ARFs versions in the months to come.
Save that scratch building to the old farts and go out and fly.

Shawn,
Thats a good idea, I think his may be a little large. I posted 33% Pitts but I just did the math, more like 28%. The 12 inches is about right though.
