Almost Down to the Punch List

The interior is essentially complete, except for a few plastic covers that will go under the panel after the avionics are finished. The exhaust is installed. We're currently installing a JPI engine monitor and wiring back seat intercom terminals. The JPI installation requires mounting various sensors and wiring them to the instrument on the panel. It will allow us to keep a close eye on the internal happenings of the engine and allow us to run lean-of-peak, extending engine life and saving gas--all good. After that, the prop and hub go back on before running the engine. It's more work than it sounds, but we're really not that far away.

The taupe/black welting was a big monkey on my back and was tedious, but turned out great.

That spider web of yellow are the wires to the sensors.
