Excuse the later push of the weekend edition. Part-time side thing yesterday went late.
Wishing you and yours, a happy, safe and RV-filled weekend.

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...

Wire Bundles
I'm nearing the end of my fuselage wire routing chaos, at least up to the firewall. Quick question re: coax - I've kept the coax as separated as is realistically possible in a small airframe. The bottle neck point is where it all comes together in the center tunnel under the fuel pump. Is it...

VAF Charity Cap: Help your charity and promote this site.
Get the cap all the cool kids are wearing! I don’t get a penny. It’s around $15. $5 more if you want your N-number on the back (I put 'STAFF' on the back of mine because it makes me laugh. Put STAFF on yours too if it makes you smile). And down the road $10 to the charity of your choice...
