Approach Fast Stack Hub Installed

Wow. I got the audio panel preliminarily wired up last night (long holiday weekend), and it is simply awesome to plug in a headset and talk into your own intercom. Seems silly, I know, but wow, I totally geeked out. And I have to say, the Approach System, makes it almost too easy. Highly recommended.

Avionics Nearly Complete

Spinner work completed (for now, it’ll need final paint with everything else later), radio trays installed and intercomm and transponder mounted-wiring beginning, and still chasing various engine bugs preparing for first run. Wing-root fire protection installed, ailerons installed, rudders/cables installed, more engine connection work, brakes bled (again).

Sparrow Strainer

This is a odds-and-ends kind of deal, and since I was going to be doing some glasswork, I pulled it out.
