The cockpit looks good there Harv. With all the horror stories around the fit of Aires stuff, glad this one seems to be ok. 

[harv]

Thanks Carl. It's not perfect and still fitting in. Fingers crossed....harv

[harv]

That really looks very good, Harv. 
Especially the seat-cushion looks absolutely convincing. 

[harv]

Can you believe most of the day for one !.....harv

 

[GazzaS]

Good stuff, Harv!

[harv]

Seatbelts are done ! Now I can move on. Before I install the pit, there are a few small things to add. Including the IP. I have to check the height to see if it needs trimming....harv

[TJTX]

Looking great.  Those belts really make a difference. 

[GazzaS]

Looks pretty sweet, Harv!

[DocRob]

Nice progress with the pit Harv.

Cheers Rob

[harv]

Ok, calling the pit done. A lot left out for various reasons,  mainly the IP sits way to far back. Cant say why. Using the Aires pit a d kit IP with Eduards. I believe the side consoles are too short. Anyway the fuselage closes and that's good for me. Next up is the tail wheel. Get it do e and I can close it all up a d move on....harv

.

 

[GazzaS]

Looks good, Harv!

[harv]

Tail wheel parts cleaned up. Have to remove some in the rear fuselage to fit in....harv
