I had the cowl off today and took a few pics. Might as well start a thread that shows where stuff might be placed up front...

There's no way that airplane is 3 years old or has 400 hours. It looks brand new!

The cable connectors going thru the firewall and neatness of the wiring is impressive!

Kip,
I noticed you mounted your aero carb vertically. I mounted mine horizontally. I wonder if that is why my EGTs on the left side are lower than the right. If I re-orient it, I will need to buy a longer throttle and mixture cable.

Wouldn't it be cool if we could rotate our Aero-Carbs until all EGT's were balanced? That will remain a dream, I'm sure. I have no idea if going vertical has any advantage...
