Final Part Adventure to Oregon (September) – Finishing Kit and Instrument Panel

We made what should be our final trip to Aurora, OR to pick up the finishing kit (doors, windows, wheels, etc.) and the instrument panel, better known as the dashboard for non pilots:)

Rob spent many hours working with the instrument panel team to make sure everything was perfect.  It will really make the inside of the airplane look polished to have the instruments so nicely labeled. 

They also made the wiring harness for the “instrument stack” which you can see how complicated it is by the picture. 

Finally when we got home we had to find a place for everything. Yes as you probably guessed, more parts went into the house.  The airplane has now taken over the living room and twin spare bedroom.  Even more motivation to work harder to get these parts out of the house and on the airplane in the garage 🙂  Rob’s favorite new airplane item is by far the Garmin GPS…
