Hi Rowland
To make you feel less lonely, I have Nev's cowls, 912S and a Woodcomp 3000 with
Scimitar blades. Unfortunately I'm a long way off fitting them all!

the layup of the cowls. In fact I asked the question of the number of layers

the offcut trimmed from the edge from my cowl to the LAA Rally and/or the Europa
Club dinner so that Jag could see how thick it is. As you say, there will
be extra plies in some more high-stressed areas but I cant speak to that. Would
pictures of the inside of the cowl be useful? Enough of the layup structure
might be visible from the inside (which has no paint or gel-coat). For instance,
have a look at:
