Thought I would post a couple pics - my Rocket is ready to fly again, has been ready for the last couple weeks but just waiting for the right weather. Today was tempting but there was a lot of low cloud around and the approach to the active runway was obscured at times, so I wait...............maybe tomorrow. The story of why it has not been flying since June is here: http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=126587
Major repairs included a new prop, engine teardown and inspection, new gear leg, new motor mount, new skins on the outer portion of the right wing, and fiberglass repairs. Here is a picture taken today:
While it was out of service and I was waiting for parts I decided to replace some obsolete items in the panel as well as make it a better IFR panel (however I could not bear to part with the VP-200 so it remains):
Now have a G3X Touch and GRT Mini, along with the 430W, SL30, GTX330, and PMA8000B I had before.
