More photos as promised. Incidentally, the cover for the trim wheels (centre lower portion of instrument panel, between the rudder pedal sets) is off in the applicable photo, but I have it safe & sound. It just screws back on. Another set of photos to follow ASAP!

Second photo is the fuel selector and primer pump panel, between the seats. Last photo shows the audio speakers behind each seat. These are NOT the 'rumble packs' I spoke about in original posting. Those packs are stored elsewhere and are yet to be fitted. More photos to follow!

When I first took over this project, I found radar 'ident' was still functioning (all instruments have power supplied) and potentially being interogated by air traffic control tower. This instrument has now been FULLY disabled and the aerial removed to ensure no further federal air regulations are able to be broken. If you were working at the Brisbane Control Tower in 2001..........sorry about that ![]() Last lot of photos follows.

First photo shows the rear bulkhead items. Upper right is the extractor fan for fresh air while door closed for 'flying', and left bottom shows the inside power plug for computer to connect to. I was going to hide the computer inside an ammunition box laid across the rear floor shelf. The door side has been sanded for painting. Other side has been primed. From memory I think the front and rear panels are primer also. The windscreen pillar on door side has a crease at bottom. It was filled when I got it, but I didn't like the quality of the finish, so I removed filler for plating with aluminium. This has not yet been done. The final photo shows one of the two lowerable legs that can be locked to ensure safety of occupants. The jockey wheel at front is wound down until the two legs are firmy planted. While the legs can be locked in up position, I recommend their removal for travelling. Here are a couple of interesting links: http://www.fscockpit.com/usergroupsandforums.html http://www.cockpitfest.co.uk/ Well thats it!
