I do, I did not take any photos mainly because it was de-assembly of the tape holding the wings and the gun covers together... followed by removal of Blu-Tak from the battery, radio and seat. The next hurdle is positioning the instrument panel on the parts from the original cockpit I am keeping, which are two sections of floor, the pedals and the IP frame.
I need to line these up carefully against the blueprints... once this is done I will address a few of the missing details—rubber battery tub, decking for radio and battery... electrical harness and the pilot cabin air vents behind the seat.... I will take photos!!
Blueprints/cockpit
Thanks so much for checking in!!! Means a lot. Sincerely.
