Today, October 6, 2012, I flew the airplane to the David Wayne Hooks airport and the new glass panel installation began. After getting the airplane into the hangar it was time to start removing the old panel.

First I removed the bottom instrument section (Clock, Fuel Level and Fuel Pressure gauges).

Next I removed the right side engine instrument panel (Oil Temperature, Oil Pressure, Voltmeter, Ammeter, Exhaust Gas Temperature and Cylinder Head Temperature). The Autopilot and Altitude hold modules were then removed as well as the Autopilot GPS selector switch. I didn’t get to remove the primary flight instruments today so these will be removed next. With these instruments panels removed and the exposed wires hanging everywhere the airplane looks real bad. It actually hurt a little seeing the panel in such state of disassembly. I just hope we can get the new panel installed and working correctly without too many problems. I will be spending all of my free time for the foreseeable future working on the airplane and Millie told me she will help out too. If everything goes as planned, I hope to have the airplane back in the air towards the end of November or beginning of December. Let’s see if this works out.
