    Ha! Ya, I missed the point of that question. Read it too fast or I'm just too excited about it. It's in a Glasair III. I'm in the fifth year building it and I'm hoping to fly next spring.

    Update. Been working body and paint since last November. Nearly finished painting, just have a checkerboard panel in the white section on the fuselage to go, then clear. After that, a few odds and end, inspection and fly away! The Glasair III has been a five year project. Definitely happy with it though.

    That, my friend, is a piece of art.

    Just realized, this was started when I got the electric to the panel for the first time. Here is a pic with the panel installation done.

    Behind that panel you'll run the risk of referring to the tower as "Mission Control."
