Tonight, after work, I strained and stretched the clear plastic "canopy" onto the plane. Then I did the same with the nose cone. Once I had those installed onto the plane, I began to plan for the stainless steel avionics panel. Yup. I have big plans for this little pedal plane. Hey, it's experimental, so why not go a little nuts? I plan to build an avionics panel that drives a small sound effects board, complete with button-actuated playback, LED lights, a flash memory and a mono amplifier to deliver the sound! Should be really cool. I've ordered stuff from a great site called Adafruit.com. They not only supply all the components, they have great how-to videos and forums to teach the art of electronics!
