Panel, firewall forward progress

Right-side area between the panel (left) and sub-panel (right) all zip-tied and buttoned-up for inspection/flight.

The sharp-eyed amongst you will notice a ground wire hanging loose on the left. That’s for the electric Hobbs meter, which will be connected prior to the first engine start.

The static line is in place, although the pitot and AOA lines will, of obvious necessity, have to wait until after the wings are mounted in the hangar toward month’s end. I’ve also yet to connect the GPS antenna to the G3X PFD.

Canopy wiring harness all zip-tied and buttoned-up for inspection/flight.

I wish I’d kept another segment of the red/white strip lights (thanks, Van’s, for the too-short length callout!!), but it’s plenty bright as-is. In fact, I’ll never have the rheostat turned up past halfway (at most!) in flight.

Oil quick-drain valve installed and safetied.

The first oil fill is done; very exciting!
