Very nicely done Mehrdad!
Remember to create a custom configuration for your P-mags prior to engine start. (I think you may have already done this.)
It looks great!
I hope you and your wife enjoy it and have many trouble free hours!

Eleven months to build, Holy Moley
Eleven months to build such a beautiful aircraft plus two for paint blows my mind.  By any chance would you tell us the total hours you posted in your build log. These newer kits must be pretty complete.

I substituted some of the time that goes into detailing the build log and hours into building the plane so don't have a good count on the hours. But I have put the typical build hours into this, my estimate is an average of 40 hours a week during the build and there was no waiting for parts as I anticipated and ordered early. The big help for me is building at home which saves all the travel time to/from hanger.
Hope this helps others.

Beautiful! Love the wood. I'm planning on some wood on my panel. If it comes out the way I envision it in my mind it should look pretty sweet. My wife thinks I'm nuts how much I like wood grain.

I am the same way, some wood more than others. I think it gives it a nice and unique touch. I encourage you to do it. This looks much better in person than picture.
