We live in Maine so good heat will be a must. Where do people get the heated seats?
|
I bought mine from Fly Boys' Accessories (they happened to have a great Black Friday sale so I lucked out on price that year) and then sent them to Abby at Flightline Interiors, who made the seats and full interior. She built the heaters in for me as they sewed up the seats.

So far we know it needs paint, a panel, a propeller, and an interior. It should be delivered in early December. We are very excited!!

Paint: Lots of options. As locally/regionally. If you think you want to paint it yourself, do a lot of research and then decide (to have someone else do it
).
Prop: Again, lots of options on prop type (fixed pitch or constant speed - what does your engine allow?) and then brands (I'm partial to Whirl Wind and Hartzell myself but you'll find people have wide and varying opinions, often attached to whichever brand they are flying behind).
Panel: Look into all the options. A few great panel designer/builders advertise here on VAF and do a terrific job. So if you want something that's as close to drop-in as you can get, that's the way to go. If you want to do it all yourself, plan for plenty of time to get it done (then double that amount of time and add 30 - either weeks or months, depending on your motivation hah).
As others have mentioned, roll servo could go in the wing or under the floor (I did wing, pretty standard) and pitch servo goes in the tailcone behind the baggage compartment. There are installation kits available for your servos of choice to make it simpler and to help with good alignment, placement etc. and I'd recommend using those. Neither is all that hard to get to or install. Just some awkward crawling around and contortion here and there, and some relatively easy new wire runs.
Have fun - it's a blast!
