  I believe thinning the cowl would be required with any A/M engine use. Sort of goes with the territory ,but what an improvement they make.

Im crossing my fingers it will fit in the Cutting Edge cowl I have. If it doesnt, thinning it could be interesting.

Has anyone done a comparison to the new Taurus engine with the kit supplied Wingnut engine, is there a great deal of difference, a side by side photo would be good to see if anyone has one. I always detail my rotary engines but find that most, nearly 90% of it, is hidden under the engine cowl, usually only the bottom two cylinder heads are visible.

For me there is one important difference - Taurus engine has no seam running along each cylinder, across each cooling rib. Removing this seam in the original kit engine seems beyond my skill. And this is enough for me to wait for Taurus Gnome to be fitted in the WNW DH2.

Only had time to do this, but it should give you a good idea of the difference throughout:

I consider myself a bit of a resin clown but did you mean cowling?
