June 5, 2007 Day 340, 2283 hours The interior turned out very well, and had exactly the look we wanted...tasteful and subtle. The grey leather is relaxing, and the seats are comfortable. |

June 5, 2007 Day 340, 2283 hours This shows the rear section of the aircraft. Jeff provided us with a lot of nice little details, like a baggage pocket and vinyl-covered window frames. We will have to move the headset jacks for the passengers to a more convenient location. We kept tripping over the wires getting in and out. |

June 8, 2007 Day 342, 2290 hours The fire extinguisher is located under the pilot's seat. In this picture, the seat is moved all the way back. Normally, it would not be this conspicuous, but it is still easy to reach. |

June 11, 2007 Day 343, 2295 hours Another nice detail are the handles on the door frames, which make it easier to get in and out of the aircraft. These are Volkswagen parts. |

June 14, 2007 Day 344, 2299 hours The FAA requires that the word "Experimental" be displayed in letters 4" high in a place clearly visible upon boarding the aircraft. These are transfer letters that were made by a local graphics firm. |
 |
June 15, 2007 Day 345, 2303 hours Another requirement is a data plate showing the serial number of the aircraft, engine type and serial number, and the builder. This was present previously, but had to be re-installed after being removed for painting. |

June 16, 2007 Day 346, 2305 hours A thorough inspection underneath the aircraft proved to be a good idea. Several ducts were stuffed full of paper to prevent overspray during the painting process, and the paper had not been removed. After this final inspection, the aircraft was deemed ready for full use, and we flew cross country to Key West. Nonetheless, many details still remain to be addressed. Stay tuned! |
