 cool video I found on doing fiberglass work.

Dave Koehler:
Opinion: I don't think the rear wing does anything for the rest of the design. Might be good for hanging the chute on though.  :)
Suggestion: Don't make that top cowl so tight to the engine you can't work on it.

Dave,

  I have been thinking on the top cowl part.Was thinking a hinged piece where you see the deflector in from of engine. I am the type whos always working on engine and with pump mounted low with belt drive and poppet or two  at the shut off I will have to have fairly quick access to that area.

      I've been up in the air on wing few times,but I like the look.My first design way back had a wing but was more laid back mounted low and was up and back from cockpit. I hat low wings they hurt when you ram your head into spill plates.Yea been there cpl times.

The almost finished nose piece or plug for it.Got mold to go then final products(2 of them) to go more pics in build section.


 By the way wife said it reminds her of the show EVRYBODY LOVES RAYMON where his mom made statue and everybody thought it was part of feamle body.I told her my thought too and had entertained idea of asking her to pose for it.DID NOT GO OVER GOOD!

I couldn't go all of the way up to body like pic because of frame work,Not sure about depth looks little deep for tru areodynamic effect. Like that was real reason I orked 4 nights. I also made mold of i9t before cutting notch out just in case.
