Ah, the Micco Midget...a fun little torch! I love mine.

Thanks John!
That is a good point. The radio/transponder I am leaning towards now is the set from Trig, with remote mount electronics. The controller part on the panel is relatively shallow. Of course by the time I get to the panel part, avionics will all be applications on a flat screen iPad like device..

At this point you might want to consider what kind of radio you are going to install. After I welded the 1/2 inch tube in, as you just did, we found out that the radio and transponder we wanted to use (Micro Air) was too long for a panel mount. I cut the tube out and moved it 2 inches further back to make room for the harness and connectors etc. There is still plenty of room between the pilot and panel.

Lookin' good!

Looking great!

Hatzers,
Every now and then a visitor comes to the shop. This time it was my father, with his nice camera.
I solicited pictures, mostly in anticipation of needing to provide the FAA with proof that I built this thing.
They came out pretty nice - I thought you might enjoy.
