Super nice looking airplane. Looks like a lot of work went into it. Nice looking square tail too Are there some photos of the instrument panel with those labels that are mentioned? How do I view them? I need to make some new ones for my square tail also and want to see what you guys did.
I just-noticed...that yellow 195's lower cowl has been re-painted?

It was -34F at the cabin yesterday morning as I was getting the place dug-out, after 7 weeks of neglect (due to a hobbled leg). Today, it's -15F here in Chugiak, which means it's even colder than -34 at the cabin...which means I'm NOT going out. Made me long for summer flying with my A+P:

Looks like you had a good co-pilot on board. That makes it all worthwhile. It's mid 60's here just outside the Fort Worth, TX area and supposed to be 70 tomorrow

Dang! I was at Lake Elmo that day, and thought about flying up there. Sorry I missed you! Was the chili any good?
I flew a little bit that day. The taxiways at 21D were all iced up, the wind was gusting, and it was a bear to keep the airplane on the pavement while taxiing. Not a great flying day!
