I'm not sufficiently handy to go it alone on something like that Bruce Jaeger himself came and installed the interior panels this past summer. He also reconditioned the upper panels.

Good question. It is just a few inches off-center, relative to the yoke rod, so it is still comfortably in forward view. But I just got the plane out of the shop a few weeks ago so I haven't put a lot of time onto this avionics platform just yet, so I don't have a solid response for you at this time.
-
I really don't follow. Matt was thrilled that it only took 3 weeks to apply the color. The airplane was at the shop for 10 or 11 weeks... Matt's work began once the airplane was already stripped, repaired, alodine'd, primer'd, and brought to base coat white. Matt worked right between white and the clear.

Working out a possible static display agreement

I'll be there Tues-Thurs with the plane, possibly longer!

I don't know the difference (have not done a comparison), so I guess not

Thanks! I have only flown this plane this week with the full package complete. I'll have to test that.

Floor carpeting from SCS: black nylon, no ensolite backing Foot panel fabric from Douglass Fabrics: flyweight smoke carpet Baggage area, door jamb, and spar from Douglass Fabrics: fusion flint

It sure is. The 650 probably would have fit and, if I did the 750, I could have done a couple of remote components to get it to fit... but they did not fit my budget.
-
I wanted both a 650 and a 750, but was out of avionics budget by then, so I just went with the 355 instead of the 650 and/or 750.

Hi, Ross! The pics with the new panel show brand new Cygnet yokes which are the same as found in many Barons and Bonanzas. They make an adaptor for the different rod size and my IA took the necessary actions for compliance. Yes, planning to sell anything that came out of the panel and the old yokes - but important to read the details about the potential crack in the left side Mooney yoke that came out (above). Do not yet have any testing plan in place to determine if the old left side yoke is airworthy.
-
Yes, it is the curved line in that red circle. I'm not sure about the testing part but I can ask. We only have a few mx shops on field and they aren't huge. I was eager to get controls that have native support for modern electronic buttons, so once they pointed it out, I was happy to go shopping...

Hi, Don! I sure do. The left-side yoke has what appears to be a fracture in the metal where it mounts to the rod. I do not know the severity or depth of it. As a non-mechanic and not being a structural engineer, it did not look like much to me but the avionics shop didn't like it. I cannot comment on the condition of the PC cutoff valve as that system was disconnected prior to purchase. Happy to entertain an offer on these in their current condition and any of the stuff that came out of the panel. Note: Stratus transponder kit has already been sold.
-
Thank you! The Cygnet yokes are brand new and fantastic, so I will not be adding J yokes.

Bruce Jaeger himself came up and installed his "Spatial Interior" this past summer. The seat upholstery was custom made by Georges with Gemico, local here near St. Petersburg, FL. The carpet is from SCS.
