Biplane #3 Smokin Hot™ Pitts Update

[flyboycpa]

#3 is awaiting her newly overhauled engine (to be delivered first week of July)

Also, getting a completely renovated wiring to replace decades-old assortment of aviation and automotive wiring, butt-splices, solder joints, bad crimps. New instrument panel in the making to go along with the new wiring and shiny-new engine monitor (JPI EDM830). Then, we'll have about a month, or so, to get it broken-in and ready for Reno 2018! See you in September!

^^^ Here, I am cutting new panel holes in the new panel. Can't wait to see it when it's done. The old one was so bad!

Thanks, the pressure is definitely on to get this plane completely rewired, new panel installed, and the newly-overhauled engine delivered, installed, then enough hours on it to break it in prior to disassembling for the drive to Reno.

See you in less than three months!
