Lots of wiring and lacing. Panel lit up, still wrapping up some odds and end. Right half of the engine wiring is complete. Last of the fuel lines made. It's probably gonna take 5 gallons of gas just to fill all these fuel lines!

First start done! IA came down yesterday and inspected everything. Couple minor things to wrap up and we are ready to fly. Paperwork getting filled out now and hopefully we will be in the air by the end of the week.

Cool. Looks like fast progress.

I did this to my 170 in 2000. Still running great, no problems in 1200 hours, runs cool and smooth, and I still hate working on that exhaust.

While you are mounting stuff under the extended baggage, there is actually enough room under there for an Odyssey dry cell battery.

cheers,

Here's the exhaust on a 210 Swift owned by a friend of mine
no mufflers, no heat muffs, no nothing.
