    I think I may have to anyway, having a closer look at some of the underside ribs it looks as if some of the fabric has become detached at some point. Not too much of an issue I hear you say but,,,,,,,,

    It looks as if the previous owner has stapled the fabric back on using a staple gun!

    I'll let you know what I find when I get that far.

    Really nice job on the cowling, i plan to do the same on my model 2 to save some weight. What kind of carbon fiber did you use?, when i looked around there is different types of weight per m2

    Looks great Steve! I can attest to your struggles as I did the same with my Series 5. Lots of work that you can be proud of. And it’s DIFFERENT!!!!!!
