I picked a kit up at Toledo in the swap shop and wondering the same. I don't care for the vacuum formed cowl however. The instruction manual is included. Sorry no more information.

Selwyn,
Doesn't look like we're going find much help here? Maybe we can do our own build thread, do you need a copy of the instruction manual? I can send you a copy.

You wont be disapointed with this plane. It flies very well with a G-62. I was looking for a copy of the plans as I never got them when I got the plane. There isn't much I dislike about the plane, it is big, it has a nice wing loading, flies well in some wint, and looks awesome in the air. I just wish there were more around. I am in the process of changing the muffler to a JTech wrap a round and repairing the cowel where the exhaust did come out. I will try to get a picture sooner than later.

Attached is the instruction manual for your reading pleasure. I checked at Staples today and the cost for reproducing is $.55 per square foot. The plans are approximately 3'X27'. You're looking at $55.00 including shipping for a set of the plans. Maybe the instruction manual will answer your questions. Let me know what you would like to do.

Tony- I'm about to start building the Super D after making some new benches for my workshop this summer....
I have a question on the appearance of the cowl....Is it a true Super Decathlon cowl with the hump in the middle leading into the spinner cone? Or smooth like a Citabria cowl?
Talk to you later.

toni thanks so much for the bump on my message. im about 6 months away on a build yet! the big yet is the manual i obtained through information from omni didnt have anything on the wing. soooooooooooo if you have that part of the build manual that i could get/pay for id be in your debt. i still need to obtain a 80cc motor, i have a g-62 on e/i for it but that might be a bit skinny on power in a pinch. hope to hear back from you! tx pat
