Nice!

Except I think in your second photo that ball of fur may put you over gross. :-)

It occurred to me after I posted that I should clarify it appears you are holding a dog?

Nice job using the Permatex 27828 (rather than inferior products) on your first rather than third attempt :-)

Mine has almost made it a full year with no signs of trouble.

Yes, it's a dog that weighs 8lbs but acts like it weighs 80lbs and is Alpha to my 65lb Weimaraner.

Chris, it's thanks to your posts that I went with the Permatex. Actually, I planned to use the Sonex recommended 3M Super 77 and had initially tried it on a headliner droop in my car. Within a month, the headliner was falling again. I then took delivery of the Permatex product and applied it again to my headliner, and 2 months later it's still holding strong. The 3M Super 77 applies more like tacky superglue, while the Permatex applies more like rubber super-cement, seems to me the Permatex will hold up better to heat and vibration.

Love the shine and the panel looks great too! I saw some headsets made for dogs at Oshkosh this year. You might order a set so your puppy can get ready for its first flight in the Waiex.

Hah, it's true... apparently building an airplane takes time.

One more post before I begin work on the engine cowling.

Like so many others before me, the engine cowling in my kit was formed too large and ended up having a large bulge along the windshield strap.
