Looks great Ryan! Hope I can remember the fuel tank angles idea.

I can relate to both of your recent completions. Just wait until you work on permanently installing the fuel tank. I still owe Steve Stahl for his sacrifice to get the bolts for the straps installed.
I look forward to your panel layout and experience with the Discovery Lite.
It's true what they say about waiting as long as possible to order your avionics. I purchased mine in July, the Xtreme finally shipped in early September...installed in late November and now the Lite is released after my panel is wired up...
At this time my canopy is 99% complete, and I'll be posting when it's 100%. I did do the swing-back canopy mod and plan to write up a bit about what that experience was like. My next couple steps will be finishing firewall preperation, starting in on the electrical and fuel systems, and mounting the engine for the final time.
Holy cow Ryan! It is almost like you are serious about getting this thing done! Looks great and am glad to see the cylinder head problem has been resolved.

Ryan, Always good to see electrons running around and behaving. Question, what is mounted up high on the firewall? I was going to get the tank installed for keeps, but if I need that real estate I probably shouldn't.
