From: Jack Ray very nice! Any details or pictures of your cowling would be helpful, it looks great. Is that a "pan" for the nose? Thank you for sharing!

Just today I got the wings all rigged to the fuselage and have had the tail feathers all rigged a few months ago. Now I'm running the cables for the aileron controls.

I wish I had gone with the Model A, but the A-65 was at hand and very cheap. I have followed the plans very closely, except for a few extra braces in places! I have not been too concerned about weight, since it is so close the the AirCamper but only carries one person.

Jack, Yes, that's an aluminum frying pan that just happened to work out. I think it was $12.00! The cowling just worked out pretty well and is very solidly attached to the fuselage with only four AN-3 bolts and maybe six .5" screws. I hope it stays there! I am following the plans as closely as possible and am running the aileron "idle cable" above the upper wing today. I have some reservations about the cable and four cable guides being about 1/2" above the upper wing surface all along the rear spar from mid aileron to mid aileron. It could certainly disrupt the smooth flow of air over the wing foil. But I'm used to worrying about such things on shorter, sleeker wings (ala the Waiex). Bernard only used this method on the SkyScout and put the upper aileron cable within the wing on the AirCamper. I see many AirCamper builders and the J-3 even add an aero shaped boot over this cable where exits the wing to the aileron bell crank. But I guess all other SkyScouts fly with it on top of the wing! What do you guys think? Thanks, Ray SkyScout in progress Sent from my iPad > On Nov 22, 2014, at 3:51 AM, Jack wrote: > > > Ray very nice!
