Vortex

We were a little tired today so we skipped church and took it easy.  I went out and started working on a cowl for the Vortex.  The first thing I did was fill in all around the motor with balsa blocks and this is what it looked like at noon when I took a break to let the glue dry.
This is how it looked at 9 PM when I quit.  There was a lot of carving and sanding involved to get it to this shape,   I have lots more sanding to do before I am ready to cast a fiberglass cowl over it.
