Michael, thanks for the reply. I was going to ask Kyle but I'll ask you instead, what thickness aluminum sheet did you use? I was thinkiing of ordering enough to do both the cover and the cowling around my Corvair engine as well as the cowls on the fuselage. I have Hans Van DerVoort's drawings for his engine cowl, but he doesn't stipulate the thickness of the material. Chuck ----- Original Message -----
