Fuselage, canopy installation

Shoulder harness cables installed.

Infinity grip installation underway. Here, the passenger stick has been cut down, the powdercoat stripped off the end, and the spacer fitted.

The guts of the passenger’s Infinity grip. Some fiddly little parts in there. I’d forgotten how much fun it was from the last time…

The canopy has been installed – hopefully for good! Thanks, Alex, for all of your help today. — with Alex Cole.

Panel installation underway

All of the individual dangly bits were bubble-wrapped and taped, then supported in the box as we moved the panel into the garage. The panel was then held in front of the panel frame while the harness was fed through from left to right.

Thanks, Alex, for your help today and the great idea to use the box!

Yours truly having just clecoed the panel in place. Seriously relieved!

The panel has found its home. The big hole in the middle will shortly be filled with a GTN750. There will be a remote audio panel, remote comm, and remote transponder behind the panel, along with a ton of other stuff. CO detector, GEA24, GAD27, GAD29, IBBS, etc.

Photobombed by this morning’s assistant. As always, excellent company; thanks, Alex! — with Alex Cole.

And one without the bomber…

Most of the wire bundles have now had their zip ties cut, been uncoiled, and roughly routed.

This is where I’ll be for the next month or so. Anybody who’d like to help is welcome…
