Minimal shop time Jan 8 - 10 while working phones and emails with Vans, Stein Air, Aircraft Specialty, and Flightline Interiors. Vans sending a few items missing/wrong in FF Kit (from 8 pages, only a few). Working with Steve at Aircraft Specialty for hose upgrades: planning to replace FF00014 hose with hose specifically made for the single P-Mag on my Lycoming IO-390 for the manifold air pressure sensor (from engine to both sensor and P-Mag). Very helpful and high quality components (I installed their alum tubing fuel lines, hoses inside fuselage last year). Working with Nick Millard at Stein Air to finalize Panel design. They're sending bunch of components now (Auto Pilot Servos, ELT, etc) that I can install while waiting engine delivery. Over several months (off and on) from concept to final design, Nick has been very helpful getting the Panel just right. I've also launched Seat and interior development with Abby at Flightline Interiors. Been a pleasure to get started, leveraging her experience. Only shop work was building 2 Flap Pushrods per Sect 41-02, Steps 1-5, and 2 Stick to Torq Tube Pushrods per Sect 41-06, step 1.

Latest, maybe final design of VFR panel. Will be black,with white engraved
labels. Toggle switches. Moving T/P/M controls to bottom of panel,
vs Vans orig design with addition below Panel (improves my knee room !)
