Updated picture of the 172 project

Thanks for the update, Wayne. I was wondering when you'd get some new pics
up.

Hopefully the avionics job won't pinch you too bad!

Coming to think about it, though, I have not personally run a flame test on the
stuff, so you may want to get a square foot of it (they sell it by the running
foot off a huge roll) and burn it yourself.

Jim,
If it is the Reflectix Insulation, the mfg had done flammability
tests

I will have to try to correlate the ASTM test data to FAA test to see
if it is suitable as a replacement for the fiberglass insulation in
our Cessna 177b.

I was thinking that, the original panel is wonderful!

Also, interesting to see the original panel. Ours has been modified
somewhat, resulting in a bit of a hodge-podge look.

You got it. My 175 has been modified too, master moved down and large holes
cut.

The plane is really starting to come along now.

Nice pics. Especially the arrival shots. It looks like it it/was a twin to
mine, except we don't have the 'Cessna' lettering on the nose. It's a '63
172D right?

Margy used some stuff we ordered from Aircraft Spruce when she redid the
headliner in the Navion. Dirt cheap, and still a whole lot better than the fiberglas
stuff. Looked more like carpet padding than bubble wrap.
