We are looking to fly by Friday…

Well here we go…

We are officially very close. We got a lot done the past two days and most of the little things are almost complete. Thinking Thursday/Friday sometime… [-o< [-o< [-o< ](*,) …but we all know how that goes. Here are a few photos from early AM today. I should have taken some photos when I left today but forgot due to the fact we were pretty fired up by days end.

Still waiting for my new tach to arrive. This is interesting. You can get it reset for around $350-$400 or just buy a new one for the same price. Mine was overnighted and arrived today. It will go in tomorrow.

You can see the hole for the tach here on the right

New baffling is beautiful

Same goes for prop and spinner number 1..Starting out with the 401 -86″ Mac for break-in. Once we break in the engine we will start our test of the two props…MT vs Mac

Most of the stuff you see here not finished was completed by days end today

I needed to put the 29’s in this photo for the planes ego… :roll: …MT prop in the box on floor

Had a body shop in Reno do the work on the top cowling. It came back near perfect.

So as said, we are getting close. The cowl needs some rivets still, the control cables need to be rigged along with a couple little things still around the engine area.

This is the week… [-o<

Soy…your suddenly looking VERY GOOD on your guess!!!
