That photo was from last Saturday. It was 50 degrees (10) at the time. Three days before we got a 14" snow...
The switches are: Elevator Trim (trim), Avionics Master (AV Mast), auxiliary electric fuel pump (fuel), navigation lights (nav), landing lights (land) - with the off screen switch set to strobing wig-wag, wingtip strobes (strobe), and cabin heater fans (heat).
I have a 105 hp Zipper big bore 912 in this plane with a 78x48 Prince prop currently. I am planning to send the prop back to have it tweaked just a bit to get some more rpm. I only get 4800 on takeoff currently, I'd like to see more like 5200-5300.
The other photo is showing buddies, Steve in the Champ and Mike in the Bird Dog.
Good looking panel layout. Looks like you used curcuit breaker switches which saves panel cutting and extra wiring behind the panel. Nice.

Nice screen shot of your new Fox Larry. You should be really happy doing 100 mph at only 5k. I seem to recall you were concerned you might not get 100 mph in top cruise with that big prop. Looks like it is working better than most would've ever thought, but I do agree it would be better with a bit more rpm. Then you're really gonna cruise along!
Looks like Mike was idling along and Steve was probably in the tbrottle...not a common group of planes to fly together, but sure looks like fun.
