Miles is sure enough our token rocket scientist, but we've just got to give him some help on where to park 98C at future conventions 
Miles what is the latest progress report on 98C's restoration?

I think designing rockets pays more than designing corn flakes because it's easier to make something crunch than to keep something from crunching.cessna170bdriver wrote:... because it's a gov't contract, not because it's rockets.

Whaddaya mean "glue" on the switches? I would expect you to be able to reach inside and start the airplane! 
The rest of the panel looks quite functional. FANTASTIC job!

The throttle moves in and out as you change engine power, yes?
Looking great. That panel is over the top.
BTW I tuned up the computer model of the yokes last week and I'll run them on the 3d printer this week. I'm happy to deliver them to KHAF 'cause i want to see this thing.
Cheers,
