Nice looking panel and cool to see the electrons running around.

Your cowling looks great. I bet it is a relief to be past that part of the build.

Dana, I am glad to have the cowling behind me. Now on to the canopy. I hope it goes as well.
Bryan, I am getting close but I won't finish until this fall. Soon it will be getting too hot here in Phoenix to get much work done.

Thanks for the comments.

I have been working on cutting, sanding and fitting the canopy. A lot of sanding and sanding and sanding!! My arms about to drop off.
I think I have it just about there now. Next the scary part of drilling holes.
