The only glass work I have left to do is to clean up the cowl exit. The
stock "sideways keyhole" shape of the elite doesn't quite do it for me. 

I plan a similar exit to your setup, to make up for my higher thrust
line and exhaust exit. 

did you use West systems for your resin, or something else? 

 

what's left for me is wiring "ship power", plumbing, and interior minus
the seats. 

 

Keep us posted & thanks,

I use EZ-poxy for all structural stuff; and alpha-poxy/micro for filler.

 

I'd like to think it will be ready for flight before another New Year's
Eve.

 

Al
