These past few days...

We're getting closer and closer. While waiting for some parts to come in to finish some things, we are working on lots of other things so that we can hopefully soon start being able to run the engine, fly, etc.

Sorry this is sort of a boring post...we did get some good things done. Roy finished installing and rigging the flaps in less than a week, which is apparently an amazing feat here at AIM AIR. We did a lot of small things here and there that needed to get done. There was a lot of maintenance on the rest of the fleet, so 7DG got a little bit neglected by everyone else but me and Roy.

Anyway, here's some pictures.


A new AIM AIR logo on the tail. Soon enough it will have it's temporary registration, too.

This is a new style exhaust that a friend brought by. We are planning on buying them for the fleet, and this was a cool opportunity to see what it looks like. Definitely a different stack than the regular exhaust. 10-15 horsepower increase...

Radios and some gauges. The one right above the yoke is the new engine monitoring system. It will give the pilot Cylinder Head Temps, Exhaust Gas Temps, Oil Pressure, Fuel Flow, and Volts/Amps. Nice.

Here's a good side profile. New cargo pod, wings on, engine pretty much ready, prop on...This thing is itching to go.

Not much longer...
