Major milestone here guys!

Last night Speedpants came over and we hung my new engine!

Wow, that is some major visual progress!

I am really happy!

Thanks guys,

Here is a pic of Speedpants working diligently and Wyatt seems a tad bit scared! hahaha

The G3i install should work very nice. I like how neat it fits into this vacant area on the firewall and how short the wires will be!

Is this a picture of an illegal misuse of a milk crate?

Congratulations Captain John! A real milestone. I hung my engine on 12/11/2005 and I will always remeber that date. It took me about three years to get my airplane signed off(12/18/08) after I hung the engine but hopefully you will be faster at getting the signoff done than I was. You have flown RV-6's so you hopefully won't have to due transition training.
Keep up the good work :)
