Instrument Panel Prep, Wheel Pant Sanding
(0.8 Hours Forward Fuselage, 0.5 Hours Landing Gear)
1.2 Hours Total

I sanded the last batch of epoxy/micro from the wheel pants and installed them with screws one more time to check fit. I think they're ready for primer now.

I got the instrument panel out of the plane and carefully laid out the pattern for some of the cut-outs for the Garmin G3x screens and the G5 backup instrument. I had already marked it for all of the switch locations, so I center punched those. I haven't decided if I'm going to cut out the center radio stack yet, because the installation instructions are a little confusing. I may wait until I have those in hand.

I countersunk the holes on the instrument panel for the stiffener angle.

I edge prepped the panel and angle and deburred all of the holes.
