Instrument panel coming along.

Cockpit and inside of the canopy painted, next the instrument panels and wiring.

March 2008
Ernie has just painted the inside cockpit and turtle deck a grey-beige / multi-speckled finish. He has painted the instrument panel and started the wiring. Cowling fasteners to be done, then oil cooler ducting and brackets. Engine baffles, firewall components for the engine to follow.

November 2006
The top half of the cowling is completed. The wings are being 'microed' together with small items for latches and controls made. Ernies approach to the bottom half of the cowling moulding is that it has to be made upside down on the bench.

Ernie has been building his plane slowly and quietly in his garage for the last 10 years. His model is a 3 seater version Cozy, hence Mk3. It has a Lycoming 160 hp engine at the rear end.
These aircraft are entirely hand built from plans, with composite foams and fibreglass.
