My First Passenger - Sort Of

Post by ptrotter »

Things are moving along nicely. I have finished running most of the wiring that goes to the fuselage aft of the spar and to the wings. I received my seats from Oregon Aero and thought is was time to see how they felt so I got my girlfriend to sit in the rear seat. She is quite excited about getting the plane finished. The second pic shows how she is already practicing for my flying.

She said the seat was quite comfortable.

A couple of weeks more of wiring and I can put it on its gear and mount the engine.

Yeah, we need to see a picture of the both of you in it. :mrgreen:

I'd also like to see a couple of pictures on how you ran the wire for the electric trim and rear position/strobe lighting down by the tail section.
If you have any, please post.
