    yesterday,.the sun mid way past noon to the horizon,..the final checks done before buttoning up the panel,..then we completed the installation..with about an hour left of sunlight,..she took flight again very happy with the V-6 radio,.clean transmissions but need to tweek it a little ,,I think ground said they could hear the birds squawking as I disrupted their flight plan buzzing around the airport in the back ground got to get my eye muscle memory reprogramed for the new location of instruments,..but other then that,..after a month and a half of being "ground bound" the Outback leaped off the runway almost as if it needed altitude worse then I did

    Congrats Chase. It looks great. Enjoy every flight in "niner Charlie Bravo".
    Hope that V-6 fits the bill. Heard good things about it.

    Seems like a perfect set up for flying to Oshkosh this year.
    Think about it.

    Thanks Steve your project is looking good as well~!! trying to get all ready for the June flight to the east coast Maddie is going with me,..next finish changing the N numbers on tail and send in the Card to FAA confirming they were changed, Oshkosh could be in the works if I can convince Chris to take her vacation during the event so she can get Maddie from school

    thanks Dave,,I was in serious need of an altitude fix,, at a few points during the afternoon yesterday,..trying my best not to watch the clock,..but I thought it would be another day before she was done,..the on field A&P was meticulous in making sure every wire connection and screw / bolt was tight..and secure .. and the avionics were performing as they were meant to.. worth the extra quadruple check

    Chase, I like the "Sky Pirate" on the door. Good personalization.
