Default Now that's what I've been waiting on.

Today was Dynon day. Installed most of the components and am really pleased with the way it looks. Tomorrow I will tackle the ADAHRS. Then on to the rest of the engine installation.

Default Out of the nest and to the hangar!

Started the build just a little over a year ago and today we moved to the hangar where we'll do the final assembly.
