Challenger LSS build for Ken Heide

Final Assembly, page 2

I needed something to go through the firewall for the heater, and this socket and cap from Menards looked like it will work great.  In the Summer the hoses to the engine can be removed and the cap sealed off.
Intercom is mounted up above between pilot and passenger so it's easily accessible by both.  The choke lever and cable are now completed.
Time for the windshield.  Now it's getting close to finished.  Notice the front streamlined strut fairings are on, also.
2/2/08.  How appropriate for the new LSS to first come out of the hangar on Groundhog Day.  Yes, it saw its shadow.  :>)
The engine was successfully started up and broken in.  Not enough pitch was in the first time.  2nd attempt got the static rpm down to 6400rpm and the 3rd was 6200.  It should wind out around 6400 in the air.
The doors are finished.  Found out the left door support would hit the intercom as the door would close, so I had to move the intercom ahead a couple of inches.
Right side, looking good.
2/17/08  Left side.  After putting on the trim tab and data plate it was time to call this project finished.   404.5 hours.
