1. Spent a lot of time measuring and taking pictures of the seven side interior panels to help Abby at Flightline Interiors finish my interior. [No photo.]

2. Installed my new N-number placard, using low-profile socket-head cap screws.

3. Worked on Installing the throttle quadrant. Had to remove it and the three cables several times so I could file out the top-right edge of the triangular hole in the gear tower, to make sure the mixture cable has enough room. I got it so everything fits great.

4. Final-drilled the four holes (two forward, two aft) in the gear tower for the Alternate Air and Oil Cooler Shutter cables. Deburred them. Installed the two cables.

I decided to install the Alternate Air cable on the right, closer to the pilot's leg, for two reasons. a). It is not a control that is used much (if ever), so the knob won't ever be sticking out and potentially interfering with the fuel selector, and b). if it IS needed, it will be in an emergency situation, and the pilot will need to find it quickly. The Oil Cooler shutter knob might potentially be sticking out at least partway for half the year (winter), so it makes sense for it to be located off to the side where it won't get in the way of the fuel selector.

Forward of the firewall, I routed the cables into the approximate locations where they will be connected.

5. With the help of my friend Tim, we put the canopy on the airplane so he can come over tomorrow and test-fit the fiberglass version of the left canopy skirt, which is now complete. If it fits well, the carbon fiber one will go into immediate production.
