Just wanted to jump in and add what I could to this discussion. I just used Mark's cowling molds and I used 3 layers of cloth (not carbon fiber). I also put a strip about 1 1/2 wide along the entire perimeter for additional stiffening. It feels pretty solid and I hope I didn't overdo it but I feel good about it and look forward to getting it on the plane. Ray
