Well, here she is....post paint shake-out flight...
During the paint down period I:
1) Installed the new vernier throttle and springs
2) R/R new dimpled carb floats
3) Re-did panel with carbon fiber overlay and installed new autopilot panel and sky view touch on right side
4) Did 1st oil change (figured might as well)
5) Re-checked a lot of things (angle and torque on prop, etc)
6) Ended up painting my own wheel pants as my painter got evicted and subsequently disappeared....(long story)...which went pretty good till the second coat of clear over the acryglo metallics....got a lot of orange peel....
colors are SW jetglo matterhorn white, black velvet metallic and copper gold metallic acryglo (with clear on top)
7) Updated everything to 12.2 (Van's...)
