Powered up the panel for the first time

[cardinal flier]

Hi Folks: I've been working on my KF IV-Speedster for about 1 year and yesterday I powered up the panel for the first time. All of the little electrons cooperated, no one tried to take a short cut and no one got hot and irritated the circuit breakers. The Dynon D180 looked great and the avionics worked perfectly. Fuel pump and starter also cooperated. My "Yea" was probably heard across the airport. I will finish the lights in a couple of days, but the testing will have to wait till I remount the wings. I think the KF will be flying within 3-4 months.

A picture will be coming, maybe................. The Aera 500 is awesome. The wood overlay on the panel came out great. The Dynon's screen is really cool. Oh, that's right. You all want a picture. Bruce

The panel is 99% complete, prop is installed with IFA wiring, etc. Windshield goes on next week, and then I think I'm ready for first start of the engine. I should be flying in a couple of months. And yes, a picture is coming.
