Working on the Panel Layout, Not all authentic but close and should look great finished!



With inclinometer What do you all think on this? use it or no?



And the Compass not exact but will look period



Stick adjusted for proper length and also working on cable runs.



Looks like I'll need to modify the fairleads under the seat though.

Thank you Gentlemen!

As far as dual switches, We'll be powering her with a modern engine either a Warner or a Lycoming depending on what is available and what we can afford so we'll need two switches for dual magnetos.

Until someone donates a Warner or better yet a LeRhone

In any case, it'll fly, not just sit static and when a more suitable engine comes available, I'm sure they'll put it on.

Now all we need is a generous owner of a Warner who'd like to see the engine do what it was supposed to do....

PS - If you have not already visited the GAAM website, check out the schedule of events for this year and stop by.... see the Pup and Triplane in progress, the completed JN-4, Winstead Special, Vielie Monocoupe, Rumpler....guaranteed you'll enjoy the visit.
