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 fe

Just to let everyone know,especially Mark Langford, I received the cowling molds today. So far I have washed them and applied two coats of partall #2 wax. Tomorrow I will apply more wax and spray on some partall #10 and if things go well start laying up some carbon fiber. Jack Cooper kr2coo..

Mark I have just gone back and reviewed your cowling page and I was wrong about the bazillion hours, it must be at least 2 bazillion hours. I have 2 questions. The two layers of carbon fiber is very flexible so did you do anything to stiffen up the cowling or is the installation of piano hinges
