First and foremost, your plane looks absolutely fantastic! Well executed and congratulations.

I am intrigued by the louvers as I covet your temperatures. Are the temperatures without the louvers with the cowl (cooling) flap open or closed?

Add-on questions.
I also like the cup holder forward of the fuel selector. That requires a vertical circuit breaker panel setup. Do you find and issues with that setup vs a angled power panel? Mostly I'm thinking circuit breaker accessibility. In plain English, can you reach the breakers?

White lightning power. I've been looking at them. I suspect that you have a connection point. Would you be willing to share a picture and how you set it up.

Thank you in advance!

1) Temps are with cowl flap closed. I did not find that opening the cowl flap open/close makes a large difference.

2) I can reach the CB panel if I slip out of the shoulder portion of the harness. I have a second cup holder (collapsible) mounted on the fwd face of the center console.

3) Our company makes a Mini-GPU for experimentals that includes the external power wiring kit, very simple. Two ways to wire it. If you want details, PM me. I don't want to commercialize this forum.
 
Here's a few of the other drink holder on the center console.

How are you liking the center console? I’m sure it’s primarily based on the size of the pilot, but do you feel like it limits your hip room in any way?
 
My plane has been flying for four years but I just got it back from the paint shop a few weeks ago. Weather has only allowed a few flight since so I don’t have many photos yet. I finally have a completed plane… for now. Cascade Customs and Design in Bend, OR painted it and I would highly recommend them . First class job! The second photo is in their shop with the canopy still masked .IMG_20250211_145131216_HDR.jpegimage0.jpegIMG_6331.jpeg
 
but now its here twice????? I'm just not smart enough to to work this new stuff

You built an airplane or at least became a pilot, don't let a computer beat you! Just drag JPEG or PNG images right into a new message, resize them so it looks good, done!
