Wheel pants not strong enough, and I didn't like the landing gear the more I worked on the plane. I had thought about changing it in the future. It has to have anchors for the wires that I will try to attach to the metal parts of the gear when I re design it. I have some ideas but would be interested in any suggestions as well.

broke some cooling fins, I will replace cylinder head because it's available and I think that the fins are a good idea to help cool engine.

fiberglass wheel pants off of a friends Howard. (they were the wrong shape for his plane) they are a little too narrow but the price was right and fiberglass specialties didn't have a shape that I liked

these are about 1/2" too narrow and made for a smaller wheel but I think with some creativity I can make them work

fiberglass filler strip added, I will also shape the bottoms down to the line drawn on the pant. The profile won't be exact but pictures of the real plane show several different shapes
