Default More info

Chris is my next door neighbor at Stellar airpark (P19). He will have much more detail Monday.

Regarding the HDR photos, trust me, the plane is much nicer in person. What you can't see is the detail of the panel. Stein did the main panel but Chris did the circuit breakers. The wiring is impeccable.

Quite some time ago we discussed making a cup holder console. He came up with this design and made a carbon fiber console then covered it in the same leather as the seats and panel.

There is so much more... Whoever gets this plane has a winner. If I wasn't into my project so deep, I'd buy it!!!!

The good news is, my new one will put this one to shame I learned a lot from Chris.

SteinAir did the avionics wiring for the AFS and radio stack. I did the rest of the panel and aircraft wiring. The panel is a custom panel I made based on the AFS-4500. It is a carbon panel wrapped in matching leather to the rest of the interior. There are only 4 panels like this but more could be made...

Chris, can you share the details of whats under the hood and the prop it's swinging? Any more pictures? I'm trying to convince someone to not pass this thing up.

Chris,

Do me a favor. I'll be in Chandler visiting semiconductor customers the first part of February. I drive right past Stellar Airpark.

Please keep that thing in the hangar so I don't crash my rental car as I drive by that area.

One of the nicest sevens I've seen! Hope I can come even close to that someday with my project.
