I started with a Diehl 0-200 cowl, that was third or fourth generation removed from a VW cowl, and cut out and modified the lower center section to fit the totally stock 0-200 as removed from a C-150. I also had to cut, reshape, modify, and re-do other areas of the cowl also. I may have some pictures if the the ones on krnet.org don't show you what you need. Look at a picture of Marty Roberts KR and compare it to mine and you will see some of the mod's I made. As always............ Larry Flesner P.S. I hope to have some updates on the Gathering in the next week or two on forums, hat & shirts, etc. I have the first batch of hats and shirts ordered and they will be single color maroon with collar and pocket, the hats are black with "wine" or maroon trim. The logo's are also changed a bit from last year. Unless something changes, the shirts will be $18 and the hats $12. The shirts are a bit higher than last year but I got a bit heavier shirt. We were limited to a single color with pockets or the price would have jumped another $5 a shirt. They should be nice ones and I think you'll like the logo. I'll get some pictures posted when the first ones are finished. On the forums, I'm thinking of having only one during the day on Friday and Saturday and another right after Friday night supper to give attendees more time to drool over the KR's. I don't think this will cut in to anyone's camping fireside forums. :-) I thinking one on airframes, one on engines, and one "free-for-all". I'd appreciate any feedback to me directly at: fles...@verizon.net
