The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

I have many .60/.61 two strokes. I have an OS .65 but its in a plane.

Thanks for the reply just give me some time I am in the midst of a bunch of changes on my planes

The motor just sticking out the front just bugs me so it is raining today, all the maintenance is caught up so decided to make a balsa cowl for the plane. Just needs some covering and it will be done. Nice that it is made from balsa no paint.

There's an airplane in every piece of balsa, finding it is what makes this hobby so much fun.

Ok 2 days later and a lot of balsa dust I have a small cowl. Making it was easier than covering it going from a square to a round with in 3 1/2 inches makes for some challenges. Even if I say so myself this does look better.
Just for interest sake it took 28 pieces of 1/4 thick balsa laminated together to mak the cowl Block before carving and drilling.
