Sharp!
3 Questions....
What is your OSH schedule?
Where will we be able to see it?
Can you make the Rec.aviation.* party Wednesday evening so we can pick your
brain about it?

Thanks
Jim

The interior is finished. The work was done at Southern Avionics' new
shop
at Mobile Downtown Airport.

It took 3-1/2 weeks and, according to their manager, went 90% over their
labor estimate. He is somewhat in shock about how long it took--it was
their first small airplane job. They absorbed a Mom-and-Pop operation
from
Hattiesburg, MS and used "Pop's" estimating method, which apparently
failed
to include "Pop's" considerable labor contributions to a typical job.

Todd says any future estimates will be much higher. Hell, I thought $7800
*was* high! I did get an estmate of $15,000 from Air Mod in Ohio, which I
thought was insane, but my guy in Mobile says his future quotes for an
airplane like mine will be more than $10,000, and he won't do everything
Air
Mod does.

Overall, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. The makeover is now
complete, just in time for OSH.
