    Installed the EI. Used high density foam for the unit and wrapped all electrical lines in plastic conduit. Again always worried about vibration cutting a wire.:geek:

    Have the fuel lines installed. I also used fuel line to outline(pad) the opening since I am not installing the throttle servo at that location and running the lines through the opening. I am anal about fuel line rubbing not against another surface and getting leaks.

    Well the real cost in most birds is the powerplant and electronics. Airframes all have a "expiration date" but I hate thinking in that way. ;)

    Mounted the 50 and attached the wrap around pitts courtesy of @jtec/radiowave. Looks very nice and can't wait to hear the sweet sound that those pitts stacks make.:way_to_go:
