Happy New Year all.

I just figured all you "metal heads" would like to see a picture of as much metal as hopefully I'll have to do.... And even this was cheating.

The baffling kit for my Lancair was all prepunched, pre-bent, sorta pre-drilled. But I've had to fit quite a bunch of it. In fact, even in this picture I found something that I need to go back and fix...

Ah, well, I'm not sure which I despise most - body work or metal work ...

Here's hoping all your resolutions come true. I only have one - to finish my Legacy!

Oh, and if you're curious, here's the business end of the "fire breathing dragon" thats going in my Legacy (a 370HP, IO-550)

Just trying to get my Vertical, rudder, aileron and HS tips to look good has been a nightmare. If you can do composite you probably can do metal!

Sweet

Really nice......! You know, with that pretty blue case, have you considered having the baffles anodized a light blue?

Very nice,

I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with the Baffling. I'm working on paint designs now as well. Airplane will be mostly white with probably a blue and silver stripe. At the moment, leaning towards white powder coating on the baffling, the rubber seal strip is also blue....

Nice engine

With an engine that nice looking, they should have crated it in teak!

That is just beautiful Alan!! Very nice, and I wish you all the best with your, uh, metal work ahead of you...

Gosh Alan you are gonna have to make your cowl out of plexiglas to show that engine off./

Where is the engine from? Looks like one I saw doing breakin on a Legacy RG at POC the other day. A performance Engines build perhaps? (Just guessing here)
