Winter Project Begins

So after Rob, Bigrenna, Matt, Cory and all you other started and shared your winter projects I figured it is finally time to start mine. I flew the Pacer over to the PA20 experts at Steve's Aircraft to start the skylight install along with a lightweight sealed battery. Nothing fancy, but I hope once I have the frame exposed in the cabin I can mount a gopro for in cockpit footage.

Re: Winter Project Begins

Great upgrades. Which battery / STC are you going with? I'd be curious to know how much cost is involved for the battery changeover. It's something I will be looking in the next year or two when my Gil battery goes tango uniform.

Went with the Odyssey and the STC from Svenn's Aviation. Battery was $175 and STC was $155.

Really can't wait to get the long version of Brian and Steve's skylight!
