Two pair of GTP 59 pix. One pair (with the tape measure) from the FRA repair station at ACA, the other from the owner of a 2024 IFR-equipped SuperD).

N26BY at the fabric shop getting a patch to waterproof and reinforce the wing fabric through which the heated pitot tube mounting bracket penetrates. Back on Monday with a little luck (speed of light almost in a vacuum: dropped the airplane on Wednesday, pick up on Monday).

Primer today, paint tomorrow, pick up on Monday if curer and the weather is dry.

Another request:

I'm trying to draft a ground and flight test plan that will minimize the fee that a Flight Test Pilot DER will charge for my "One-Only" STC application. Does anyone have an STC flight test plan that I can see, not to copy, but to get an idea of the detail that will be required? My strategery is to draft the plan, have a guy who's trying to help me look at it, then pay the DER to bless it ($250/hr) before I submit it to the West Certification Branch. I went to the dark side and asked Chat GTP for help, but the plan it (I almost typed "they") returned seems pretty high-level (no pun intended).

That's where my 2 probes are installed.

Got some pics of our installation for you. One for the G-5 and the other for the GI-275 EIS. (Garmin doesn't allow piggybacking of the temp probe for some reason...)

1977 7ECA, nice and simple, all within easy reach. Traffic display via battery-powered Stratus 3 and iPhone with Foreflight. I may spring for a panel-mount USB port to keep things charged, so I won't have to carry power banks for longer trips. The AA batteries on the panel shelf are spares for the headset. I like the low-profile panel. It feels like sitting at a low desk on a mountaintop.

Was wondering what radios are in your stack. I am wanting to do the same thing.

Almost done upgrading the electrical panel and avionics. Push/Pull breakers, Lemo headset jacks, GTR205, GNX375, G5 w/ GMU 11 (nice to have an attitude reference for recovery training), G2 insight engine monitor, True Blue USB power, pulse/landing light from Aero LED and WAT wingtip nav/strobe/position.

Necessary, but not sufficient. PSCP and "FAA Approved Data" prepared by my Army of DERness will be submitted early next week. I'm hopeful and optimistic that the STC will be approved and issued before my early-August birthday.

Again, congrats. This really is a major accomplishment.
