N4790U happenings.

So...works been happening on 90U, but not as much as I had hoped. I guess the DC-3 does take a little more priority in most peoples' eyes. In fact, this week I was yanked to go help with the Dak, and Caleb and Liz were taken for piston fleet maintenance. So, Nate K. is the remaining one still working on 90U. He's been cleaning and painting the instrument subpanel getting ready for Radio Base...

Progress!! But still more to come, of course.

Liz and Nate K discussing the fabrication of the nose gear tunnel access panel. It turned out good. Great job, Liz!

Hey, it's supposed to be white, not green!

Nate K. cleaning and preparing the forward cabin interior for some primer and paint. Notice the ear plugs...he's tired of hearing about piki pikis.

Wow...pretty gray instrument subpanel and center console.

Here's the newly painted instrument subpanel and console. The light gray is primer; those areas will be covered with the plastic interior panels.

Here's Liz's Flint wingtip fuel tanks gauge panel that she fabricated and installed. It will be powder coated gray to match the rest of the subpanel, center console, etc. Third time's the charm, Liz!! Nice job.


AAARRGGGHHHH! Why is it so hard to find parts that I need sometimes!! It sure doesn't help that we're halfway around the world from Wichita, either. Thanks to the Cessna reps who have answered back so quickly in my quest to find non-part numbered parts. You guys ROCK!!
