    Default Louisiana Super Sport build.

    We had a boring afternoon waiting for hysol to cure on the tail so we decided to fit the panel. My daughter said all systems are go, go, and go.

    I remember when my daughter was that age... Great times.
    Panel looks good. Copilot looks like she's ready for take off and blue skies! All systems go!

    Here are some recent pictures. Some hardware is temporary for now. It’s been such a fun project!

    Ben is that a battery box in the tail? You may not need your battery back that far. During my build I put mine under the stab like the instructions show but quickly realized it was too much tail weight. My odyssey 680 battery is right behind my seat and w&b is perfect with o-200.

    Ken, this is a battery box. It’s for the Earth X battery which is really light. It’s not all the way back in the tail though. It’s above the rear elevator bell crank. It will be easy to move forward if need be in the future.
