Pictures were requested, and here are the pictures of N1037G with the new panel layout, J3 tail spring, slightly smaller tires, new exhaust and radiator.  Battery, ELT placement. The last picture is the Garmin GMU11 magnetometer.

Subaru NSI engine, 1748 TT on both the airframe and engine.

Looks good.  As little fabric is left on the fuselage, I would strip the rest of it off and widen the fuselage and infill the seat truss and under the doors.  JImChuk

It's looking good Doug. The battery in the tail will work well to keep in W&B without having to add additional tail weight. My Subie ran really well and was very reliable.  Keep the  pictures coming!

Thanks,  

I thought of widening and length if, but that will be another time, we need to get her flying again.  I am 5’4” and lucky my copilot (wife) is 5’2” so cabin space shouldn’t be to bad.  In fact I had to rig the rudder pedals shorter to fit my legs for full throw! Yes I am short!

The battery, and ELT,  both have aluminum side panels. Recently I bought a second EA81 with low miles to rebuild and Kirby has a new gearbox we’ll use.  

The next pictures will be of our flights, and speeds.  I only wish San Diego had my dirt strips, but Arizona is a hop away.
