If anybody did not get a cowl with their kit or you want a custom cowl
let me know. I am getting better at lofting cowls.

I need a 2D drawing of the firewall, the distance from the firewall to
the prop flange, the position of the thrust line and all the stuff
that will be in the cowl. I can then do a custom cowl to fit everything
inside which will save you a year. You will have template patterns 
you can cut out, mount and then fill the spaces with foam to make a male 
buck. Which can then be used to make a female mold.

It is much less work if you have a stock AC cowl and just need to fit the engine
and rads inside. Usually less than an optimum solution for the rotary but it saves
a lot of work.
