The GRT Sport has arrived and almost all the instruments have been set in their panels. This is a test fit. It was necessary to adjust the big opening in the main for clearance of some of the various instruments.

But I'm still piddling around with the wiring and cabling. Found out today that the GRT Sport SX will control a Garmin SL30 radio and the Microair 760 will support SL30 type input/output. So, I'm working on adding the necessary wiring between the two.

Now you can observe the reservoir from below the aircraft where you control the run of fluid into the brake.

Another test fit. Getting better. Still waiting on the electroluminescent light ring for the altimeter.

Here is the switch & breaker panel all nicely assembled. Don't know if you can tell, but the bottom row of breakers (except for the first one) are all upside down.

Just the instruments. The wiring of everything in back will be the next big project.

Maybe by the end of the week I can have the shell installed and wired into the aircraft so I can plug these into it. We'll see. These 26ºF (-3.3ºC) mornings have been limiting me to only 4 or 5 hours of afternoon work a day.

Here's a decent picture of the new panel all lit up. As far as I can tell, everything works now. I still need to set up the GRT Sport SX, MicroAir 760 Radio and MicroAir T2000 Transponder.

Used our hydraulic punch to poke out the round holes. The rectangular holes were corner drilled and cut out with aircraft shears. Files were used to clean up the holes in shape and size.
