It’s like Christmas Morning when you get that phone call.. “the truck will be arriving in the next 30 minutes...”!!!!!! I’ve been anticipating this day for a while since this final shipment contained the finishing touches that transform the plane from a aluminum form to a luxurious efficient fast flying machine. 😎
Soon after the parts arrived, I began inventorying and stapling them to the parts board. Everything is there (except the fuel system 🤨 ugh..). Apparently the factory is revamping the fuel system kit and it’s a “TBD” on shipping date, but I have plenty to play with until I press on that subject. I’ve made quick progress on the Firewall Foreward, despite having a Sling 4 Firewall - basically just had to move the oil tank to the right side and drill a few other M5 Rivnut holes. They did send me an extra silver adhesive foam, so I decided to double it on the front and back of the firewall for some extra sound protection. The Upholstery looks awesome with the grey tones and red trim along the edges.. looking at paint schemes to similarly match! Next up, finishing up the firewall forward items and lifting up the engine for mounting! Comments are closed.
