Rocket Coming out!

[PJClark]

Hey all,

Rocket Drivers especially:  my 86 Rocket fresh out of paint and interior today.  Good as new, faster than new (almost) but 1/4 the price!

What a machine!

[KSMooniac]

Well done!

Well this is a little frightening.  It's gonna be fiiiiine...

The new instrument panel looks like it’s tight against the side panel, might want to shave off a little so that it’s not so tight and may make getting the glare shield off easier as well.

That's a cardboard cutout for now. They'll test fit everything and adjust as needed before they cut the aluminum panel.  Good call though!

[aviatoreb]

She is a beauty!

[carusoam]

That looks like a very expensive piece of cardboard!  

PJ,

are you doing the work, or can you just look away... while it’s being completed?

It is hard to look at a Mooney That has been so dis-assembled...

Good luck for a quick completion.

Best regards,

Good God, no! I'm not doing it!  Fact is I asked for a progress update an we've been trading CAD layouts.  So I got a pic and got what I deserved :-)

next update should show stuff starting to go back together which will be a little less traumatic!

From the title I thought the OP was claiming his aircraft was homosexual.

I like the plan, looks just like my "phase 2" (Phase 1 shown here). 

I would highly recommend replacing the rocker switches with new.

[PJClark]

Slow and steady...I guess.  Wiring allegedly done,  JPI back from factory programming and ready to install next week. Perhaps it may be done before the next ice age makes it too hard to start?

[RogueOne]

Coming along. I resemble your challenge in getting into the air. 

[PJClark]

Which is a good point.  I'm a noob at airplane mods. Paint job 5 weeks turned into 3 months (it is gorgeous though) and now avionics shop's 5 weeks is just past 6 and headed for 8 or 9 weeks.

Thus:  is the thing that simply NOBODY in general aviation maintenance does anything on time?  I'll adjust my expectations  if I should, guess I'm 2/3 there already

[ArtVandelay]

No, take the time they tell you and double it. That conversion works pretty well. If anything changes during process, clock restarts.

Beautiful work!

[aviatoreb]

Panel envy.

[bradp]

I’ve seen a bunch of panels that get CNCd on plexiglass for identification of fittment issues before cutting the expensive stuff.  

Looks great!

[PJClark]

Power is ON!  Checks and calibrations begin tomorrow.  Pick up next week.  #RocketLife !

[carusoam]

Go PJ!

i hope all the calibrations and set-up go smoothly...

Best regards,
