• Today went to fly in my friend Hedley's Pitts. Alas, had to bail cause a couple of the plugs were severely fouled.

  

• However, I did notice a Grob at the field, it has the ELT remote control mounted on the back of the baggage bulkhead. Exactly where I had been considering it for my RV. If my DAR has questions about this location, I'll point to this Grob as an example. You can dimly see the ACK control panel through the canopy.

  

• I could have done a better job jigging the fairing. However, this is my first time mating fiberglass to metal - I picked this part cause it won't be so visible. A bit of micro and all will be well (I think).

  

• Mating the filler pieces to the panel, match drilling per the Affordable Panels plans. Very fun.

  

• Drilled first with a #27 bit, then expanded to #19 after using the filler piece as a drill jig for both sides.

  

• Countersink for the screws.

  

• Countersink for the rivets that hold in the nutplates.
