Engine

The engine is in the hands of the mechanic. We (my Wife and I) hauled it up to Port Angeles on Saturday. It looks like a solid month before it will be ready to hang.

I have started pulling out cabin items. The instrument panel is pretty much disassembled, the seats are out, and I am about to pull out the ugly carpeting. But first, I will be fabricating a new overlay for the right side of the instrument panel.

The left side is easy. I will simply install new overlays on the existing, floating, instrument panel. But Cessna, for whatever reason, mounted all the right side instruments directly on the sub-panel, which is a structural part of the airplane. So, a new overlay is in order if the right side is to match the left side.

What fun!
