As you can see above, the dashboard gauges have arrived - AND so will the motor - THIS WEEK! Mike arrives on the 24th with the Phantom 4. Installation of the motor and related hardware will be underway by the time you read this.
As of Friday, June 22, the mold for the seat back was well under way. This week, we also added several more layers of mahogany to the topside and completed the layering of the engine compartment cover. We now have only the strips from the cockpit margin to the beam to complete which will take probably two more sessions.
