I have been working on various small jobs on the airplane project on and off all summer, but not much photo-worthy has transpired, so I've been remiss in posting updates. Mostly I've been finalizing wiring and panel details, securing wires that need to be secured, and finishing up the end stages of a panel overhaul which I'd begun before I moved, and hadn't mentioned here yet (more details on that later).
Believe it or not, a lot of work has been done here, although it's not at all apparent just by looking at it:
The panel plates and roll bar components are currently off getting powder coated, and when they're finished I should be able to install them for good.
Years of abuse and several hundred instances of me climbing in and of of the fuselage have left some chips in the cockpit paint, so I took the opportunity to touch up the cockpit rails and seatback bulkhead now while the panel is removed. Luckily the paint I used for my interior is still made (Rustoleum Textured in "dark pewter").
I've also been spending a lot of time working on another aviation-related thing which I will reveal eventually, so stay tuned for that…
