On the home stretch.

Another observation. Looking at those pics, the side windows don't look bad without the red trim paint. With the strong black paint scheme, seeing the frame members through the glass looks good. Of course I am sure it would look good with the red trim painted as well. Just a thought

Yes, I like it this way. That is why I painted the vertical plates for the wind screen black. So it blends in. This way I will never have to worry about chipping paint on the windows.

Good call. The look works really well with your paint scheme.

Darn it. You beat me. I still have to install the spinner.

My inspection is scheduled on June 27. Will be away until then.

Congratulations! Let us know how the first flight goes.

Lol. It's not a race. This is my fifth build. You learn how to built fast with practice. You get faster after your third.

Just wondering what tires and do you have extended tanks? Are you using a g3x? Mine came in at 990 with 29's and extended fuel but a world vfr panel.

It has 31s, (32#each) extended fuel and baggage, baby bush wheel and g3x with autopilot. It is an Ex2 which is suppose to be a bit heavier.

Ok,

So the only difference is I have 29's and no AP and a lighter panel.. Mine is an EX-2 (120 hours) Thanks...
