Build: EF 88" Edge 540T

Sorry for the late reply as I am traveling for work.

I actually make my own extensions so they are a custom length. I don't know if I measured back when I had my Slick because they were made for that. I will make some more custom ones this winter or sooner if the wind keeps blowing here.
 
So I ordered my replacement canopy for the EF Edge 540. It's a $50 part (not too bad) but shipping was just shy of $30...

I think with the way shipping charges are going, they are more likely to drive me from the hobby than the FAA!
 
I've been working on the new canopy. I glued in the canopy floor over the weekend so that I can get some good glue beads to secure it.

Last night I glued in the dash. I would've glued in the pilot but accidentally knocked it off of a shelf a little while ago and cracked it pretty good. I ordered a replacement this morning.

Surprisingly we've also had some decent weather so despite being on the colder side of when I would be up for flying, I've managed to get the Edge out and throw it around a little bit this winter.

Ah man if I would have known I would have sent you mine. I didn't use any of my interior stuff or pilot. Hit me up if you need any other cockpit stuff.
 
I ordered some graphics over the weekend and they arrived today. Nothing too fancy.

On the 'Desert Aircraft' I had to cut off part of the lettering for my needle access hole.

I got the idea for the registration graphic from @Tseres.
