Instrument panel installation (4.2 hrs)
With the modification to the instrument panel completed, the time has come for this bulkhead to be permanently installed in the fuselage.
Nothing new here, once again I floxed the edges, located the panel, smoothed the corners with more flox, applied BID tape and peel-ply, and let it cure.
The next morning I removed the peel-ply (and F-22) and took some finished photos.
