If you people can't screw on that cowl, then you're in the wrong hobby. Take up finger painting or something. . . It was really not that tough, and the scale effect is awesome.
I liked building this plane .but I would love to know the brain sergon who decieded to put the cowel screws on the inside of the cowel? I have built many planes . I have all the proper tooles and i cut the plastic away from the dummy moter and still could not get those screws started. it took me around 2 hrs to get the screwn started.I was ready to go to the hammer in my tool box for help.I am built this plane for a friend and if he ever has to remove the cowel he will never get it back on.
if you read the little book that comes with the beaver it says to cut out the dummy motor in between the cylinder heads, then you can get at the allen head's to tighten them read the book.
Quick question ---- he stated that the cowling gets mounted through the front opening ---- well, once you install the dummy radial engine in the cowling, that front opening is no more --- how does it get secured then?
nice i need to get that sometime soon

I've been thinking of buying this plane as my second plane. (Currently have a SIG Kadet EP-40) How is it to fly?

That sure is a sweet looking bird and i think the hidden control wires and horns is what help it look so good :-) 5*
