John how thick did you make these things for the foot pedals?
They’re 1/2” thick. I thought it might be too much, especially with my long legs, but it turned out to be good. It’s just some plastic material I already had.
Thanks
I have some thick rubber I can use. I need it more than ever now with a little heavier shoe. I got cold after an hour 15 minutes today testing my temperature threshold 20 degrees is about my limit and I need to wear a scarf or neckie as a breeze gets me right in the back of the neck.
Ez flying in the cold crisp air.
I am working on my panel and I see there are 5 attachments for the glare shield around the panel, with just these 5 does the glare shield lay flat to the panel all the way around?
Don't know about others, but I put 8 attachments of I/P to glare shield ...
The 5 on mine hold it just fine to the panel curvature.
I had fabricated my panel with a continuous 3/4" flange attached to the upper edge, so I located extra holes at equally spaced positions that could accommodate clip nuts as needed. I ended up using 7 of them.

Thank you for all the responses, seems more like a personal choice to get the job done.
Hey John -
Just re-read your entire build. So many nuggets of info and solutions to issues. I have already used your lift strut closeout and I am sure to use a few more. I sure do admire your workmanship. I'm no machinist nor do I have the equipment but one can strive for excellence no matter where you are with respect to tools or skills.
I can relate to spending way to much time on little things but as you say "I just can't help myself!" :D
