Anymore cowl renderings Jerry and you are going to owe
me a steel tube dyno stand :-)

BTW I have been selecting file paths for the past five years with
the mouse. I am now back to the DOS/UNIX way of doing things
and typing the file path. It is much faster and easier.

THANKS!!!The renderings are beautiful,  the shape of the cowl as
rendered is very nice.  I think when I get to shaping foam, I may be
able to fine tune it a bit more.   But your work has shown what is
possible.   For those putting the Rad underneath, this will be the
cowl shape.   A major worry gone!

Consider having the dyno professionally built by Danny.  He has built
hundreds of custom trailers and does an extremely nice job.  He could
build the dyno on a trailer similar to Power Sports test stand.  It
could be hauled to Tracy's  or Oshkosh or anywhere else.   It would
not be cheap but it would be very good.  To pay for it, perhaps we
could all chip in.   Ten guys kicking in $100.00 each would go a long
way.  What we would learn from its use, would be worth a lot more.

Butch donated the trailer. I have that already. I can handle
the dyno stand locally either in SZP or the valley. I got a welder
in the valley that has done some architectural steel for me.
Donations will be accepted.

BTW Speaking of money we still have about $1000 in the Everett
Hatch Memorial Race Fund and there is an upcoming race for
Copper State from Apple Valley CA. If your rotary powered airplane 
can average over 200 MPH for the race you can win $300 cash.
