I cut small brass plates , had them engraved to label some of the switches and controls, and attached them to the panel with the smallest brass screws. I mounted the skid indicator in the botom center of the panel. Wish I had the pace for an old fashion one... I removed the unfinished brake pedals from the cockpit, and cut aluminum plates to fit small rubber pads from AutoZone. |

|
||||||
I made 6 brass straps to attach the silver colored brake cable housing to the legs of the gear . Left and right have to be routed differently because the brake drums are identical and one is mounted backward. I glued the black rubber non skid material to the aluminum step for the passenger. I drilled two solid aluminum flame shaped bottle stoppers with a 3/4" holes, and fitted them on the ends of the stick . They make a perfect 3 fingered grip to prevent me from holding that stick too tight... |
||||||
I assembled the plane outside to finish the wires and try things out , and left it out a few days to enjoy. | ||||||
|
||||||
TOTAL 1434 hrs | ||||||
