Has anybody out there made a glass cowling on a mold?My new cowling design calls for lots of compound curves and if I can't getmy English wheel friend to do it, I'm going to have to build it up fromcomposites.I was wondering if anybody else has done the foam mold on the nose routineand has any advice?Douwe________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 5 Aug 2010 05:10:48 -0700 (PDT)

You guys are making a real strong case. Ive been looking at the build manual forthe FB and have been pretty impressed with the clarity and the step by stepprocess. Is the Pietenpol AC build manual like that? I saw another thread aboutthe AC build manual and it sounded like it is a little vaguer.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: anybody make a glass cowling?
