Hi All

Almost finished with the Pod.

Made some decisions to change some small things. ## ## ##
Very pleased with the results.

Dash still needs Finishing, very Matt after the initial water paper polish, but after next paint layer it will be just perfect.

Test fitting of Instruments makes me even more happy with my Decision.

Hi Big Mac

On Holiday till 23rd - Need to keep the Softness Happy or it is going to be ($$) ($$) ($$) ($$) in my ears till the cows come home.
I have completed the installation of the Intruments and the wiring just need to connect it all up and test everything.
Almost Finished Dash.jpg

I have a IVO prop that i can use for testing it is only two blades but well worth trying out.
Need to get my 3 blader to P-Prop for stainless steel placement on Leading edge. then it is Final assembly and test flying can be done.

It should all be finished and ready to Fly 2nd week in Jan. Want to attend the Tedder Field flyin. So need to fly off the 10 Hours as prescribed by the CAA then s023

My Parts have arrived from the UK so getting really excited and soon will be (^^) (^^) (^^)
