Reviving a dead thread, fixed the pics, fixed the oil pressure (thanks!), fixed the link in post #1 to take you to the shared album with better res versions of all the pics, and here’s another slightly better pic.

What is the very nicely welded aluminum box (tank?) between your legs? Smoke?

Yessir! I moved the battery (PC680) firewall forward and put the smoke tank there to help fix some of the rear seat and baggage CG issues with a light-nosed -4. If I had a CS prop it probably wouldn?t matter, but with the wood now Catto I didn?t have much usable luggage with a normal human in back. Now I?ve got room for 50lbs with a 160lb backseater!

Default +1, for me too.

I like it. If you had put the A.P. on top of the stack you would be right at home in our 8. You will like it, good work. Yours, R.E.A. III # 80888

Yeah, due to the design of the bracing behind the panel the AP had to go at the bottom. I honestly don’t think I’d change a thing, it’s been an awesome panel!
