Things are moving forward...

...but still a little slower than I had hoped. I have finished the EDM-930 installation in 5Y-LMB and am back working with the guys on the project 206. N4790U is looking better everyday, and things are really coming together. Hopefully in the next few weeks, we will be able to finalize some major systems and get the plane ready to do operational checks. Keep your eyes open!


Jose and some of the guys did some paint touch-up on the tail feathers.

David Marwa has been working diligently on the instrument panel area...it does look pretty good, even looking at it in this picture. He has all the instruments mounted in the pilot side panel and all the radios have been fitted in their trays. We're going to put a few things behind the panel and then it's all going to come together for good.

Ryan installed our new stainless steel door sill in the cargo door. Its a nice addition, and helps keep the door frame from getting banged up too bad.

This is just a generic front shot...nothing too special. If you look really closely, you'll notice that there is no fancy engine monitoring system installed yet...they still have not decided what they're going to install. So for now...I wait.

Sitting comfy in the paint booth. We did put sealant on the window frames, so that is another thing done that you really can't see except up close. We also put on the new wheels and brakes this week. We install the heavy duty nose fork and a bigger nose wheel and tire, as well as bigger main gear tires. This helps on the rough strips that we fly into regularly.

Let's see... You just installed a JPI EDM-930 on one of the other 206's and they don't know what they're going to put in this one hmmmm.... maybe they should put in the same thing.
