COMMENTS: The cowl will cover the range of recommended engines but the cylinder
            head will protrude slightly in most cases.
          The muffler will be enclosed in the cowl with a 4-stroke engine but
            will protrude through the bottom of the cowl with a 2-stroke and
            the cowl must be trimmed accordingly.
          The firewall is indented to allow for inconspicuous mounting of
            the muffler, close to the fuselage.
