Why not use metal? It's light, simple, looks "antiquey", and there's no exposure to nasty chemicals. The cowling I made for my Micro Mong is all simple conicals except for the upper corners of the nose bowl, which I cut out of a stainless steel salad bowl. If any of you want photos, drop me an email and I'll send them to you. This airplane hasn't flown yet, so I'd keep my mouth shut if I hadn't heard of so many other builders doing similar things successfully. Larry the Micro Mong guy PS. I really don't have anything against 'glass, if you like to mess with that kind of stuff, but there are ways to do it in metal that are not hard or time consuming, contrary to rumor. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:54:01 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Model A engine From: "MF" Hi all, I'm new to the forum with some Model A engine questions. I saw somewhere on the internet a couple of recommended Model A engine books but can't remember where I saw the posting. Any guesses? I live in Minnesota, any recommendations as to where to find a good core motor?

I have a Scott and it works great but was wondering about the Matco, which is lighter. I might have a ccess to one so I was wondering what the feedback is on it. Thanks.
