Although it is way too hot to work in the hangar it didn’t stop us going out this morning to inventory the FWF kit that came a couple of months ago. Very impressive packing from Zenith as usual and what I like this time is that all the components are bagged together in sections, makes it very easy to find that bolt the plans call for.<\/p>\n

Here’s inside the crate after removing half a forest of packing paper<\/p>\n

I unpacked everything and here it all is… the cowling halves<\/p>\n

Sure is a lot of things to go on the plane but yet very exciting that we are almost in a position to add them.<\/p>\n

I don’t think I mentioned it on the blog but thanks to a better than expected annual bonus I shelled out for the official Zenith upholstery kit. There’s a lot in the box but not a single instruction and I scratched my head for a long time before working out what to do with it all (i.e. I asked Zenith and forum). Aside from cushions, there’s also a cover for the control stick, a glare shield and some fancy carpeting to go down the sides of the cabin. Anyway, here’s a picture of a seat pan with the seats on.<\/p>\n

and here’s me trying it out, or rather the dogs trying it out with me in the way<\/p>\n

And finally, I got this awesome present from my wife for our anniversary in June<\/p>\n

Very cool gift, though I think I am now wed to that tail number (which I just last week re-reserved for another year). Sure would be nice to see those numbers in large font on the side of the plane sometime next year.<\/p>\n

Well, that’s it for now, everyone stay cool in this lovely heat (113F in the hangar this afternoon when I had to go back for the seat pan).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
