OK stop. This is getting scary. I was scrolling down the panel install picts when I saw you installed an ash tray and head phone jacks and placarding. 8O On the second scroll down I stop and start looking at the detail of the ash tray and headphone jack wondering how the heck you made or found those. After a few seconds I realize that image is the real plane. You have got to label those real plane pictures better. :)

Once again your work is incredible!
I really had to look close at the seat shot that shows the dash. At first I thought it was your BIG bird!
Your project is really looking good!

I used to have a friend with a C-182 that had red upholstery in it. He liked to practice instrument flying under the hood and I often went along as safety pilot. About a hour in that red bastard and I started getting bilious and was ready to land. The experience was worthwhile just to learn that I must not ever ever think about red upholstery in an airplane.

So Dick which definition, 1 or 2, did you mean?

bil·ious/ˈbilyəs/
adjective
1. affected by or associated with nausea or vomiting.
"I had eaten something that didn't agree with me and I was a little bilious"
synonyms: nauseous, sick, queasy, nauseated, green around the gills; rarequalmish "I felt bilious"

2. spiteful; bad-tempered.
"outbursts of bilious misogyny"

John,
I meant that that red SOB made me want to puke! It would have been a great color for a '57 Chevy Convertable. I'm a Ford man anyway.

Seriously though, I installed magnets in two locations so they can be placed more aft for a better view of the panel
How will that effect the compass? :mrgreen: Man such a basic error, come all this way only to head north...LOL.. :D .absolutely beautiful job!

Poncho - no need to worry about compass error. I'm sure Arash will install a gps like he's got in his full scale! :lol:

Kyle/Poncho, the plane will actually have a functioning GPS on board, which records altitude relaying it via telemetry to my transmitter. :D

All of this is possible because of the awesome radio system Ryan Smith donated to the project. 8)

The telemetry data on this model will include:

Airspeed (actual, not GPS)
GPS altitude
CHT
Receiver & ignition battery voltage
Engine RPM
G-meter

You work in aerospace, and you get pigeon-holed. I've never been able to convince folks that it takes no more smarts to do what I do in a rocket test facility than it would to do it in a corn flake factory... :roll:
