Arash-
How are you going to get that thing out of the house without cutting a hole in the wall?

Arash, I'm really impressed! You are a very skillful modeler.

The hardest part will be getting that non-TSO'd altimeter to pass a static check.

Beautiful!

Headliner bows installed...check. Will you be using rotary latches for your doors?

Something that I can't believe is that you can keep your work area so clean during a build. Try as I might, 3/4 of my workshop will invariably get pulled out to do the smallest thing. I know your wife appreciates it!

I couldn't scale down the door latches, so I am going with a simpler design. Only the brass lever will be visible on the outside of the door.

So let me see if I understand you right. YOUR WIFE says you can build on your dining room table and you have a Hangar for your 170? You are allowed to model build in your house and not make your 170 dusty? Does your wife have any single sisters? I want one....LOL

This is as big an understatement as we have ever had here on the forum.

Let me know when you have her convinced, I'll work on mine and and we can do it as a 2 ship!

I'm callin' the FSDO to report non-PMA'd parts....Oh, Wait!.... I guess this truly IS ... OWNER-PRODUCED!

(Some of us are waiting to see if the "bird" and placard on the glove-box is possible.)

Owner Produced?
Pretty sure this qualifies for the 51% rule

As for authenticity....You're BUSTED, Aryana!
The little square inst hole in the center is for a magnetic compass ...not CARB TEMP!
Thought you'd put one over on us, heh?

(And the little bracket in the center is for the correction card.)
