We have started painting the interior and it is turning out GREAT! Tom has a lot of experinece wih paint, so I’m letting him do the most. Really nice too. We are using simple shaker can paint in the inside with Dupli Color self etching primer and Rustoleum Professional Light Machine gray enamel as the top coat. Easy to put on, easy to fix and low cost. I got the idea from Van’s Airforce where other folks have used the same.
We are finishing a bunch of little detail stuff, and working on the top skin. I also bought the three part panel from Affordable Panels. I got the XL version with the extended throttle quadrant. I have pictures of my old Skyhawk, and that is the style I’m looking for. With digital gauges of course. The Affordable Panels guys are great to work with, but you’ll need to talk to them on the phone to get all the options. The web site is a bit out of date. Go to

for an impressive system. Maintenance will be a snap!
