Yep, it's an MJS.

The product is good, although I will say that communication was a challenge during and after production. There are a few things I like about it, a few things I would change. I'm considering 3D printing a new one to my specs.

Re: Show Us Your Before-and-After Mod Pics

The biggest functional challenge is the single door on the 206. The console slides, but only so far, and especially if you have anyone with any mobility challenges at all it can be troublesome to traverse. The design I have in mind streamlines the cupholders and solves the hop-over problem. But, as I said, any two-door Cessna would have zero issues with it.

Is this your version of disappearing messages so “they” don’t find you in witness protection after all these years?


Zane, I just saw this post. I’m not sure now. Probably not wanting to deal with
“you shoulda” responses. But hey, who cares…

Spending summer in Wyoming so no progress. Too hot in Calif to work in hangar.
It will be full time once I return to home base soon. Just fully retired a few months ago.

Pushing for early summer ‘26 flight. Gonna be some long days.
Wings are ready to prime/paint. Control surfaces still to cover and paint. Hang engine, plumbing and wiring. Rigging. Simple avionics.

Plane had been fitted, rigged , engine hung and disassembled before I bought the kit. Huge head start by original kit buyer. He was a sharp experienced guy.
