Hi Dan,

Looks awesome would you be interested in selling these out to some of us other TMMY 35% Cessna 182 guys?

Cheers,
Steve
Thanks Steve,

Wow, I don't know about that, it was SUCH a pain in the A** to make it.
I don't know if I could keep my sanity if I had to make another one. lol
Besides,I think with all the labor it would cost too much.

That'sone of the reasons I made such a detailed video,so anyone could copy the design if they wanted.
Otherwise I would have only showed the front of the dash and kept the mechanism a secret.

Of course the first one is always the hardest, it would be a bit easier now that I've done one.
I'll think about it a little and see if there is a faster way to do it.
Since I only planned on making one I didn't make a jig.
If I had a jig it would go fast, but making a jig would take longer than the part itself, and would only make sense if I planed on making a bunch.
Plus I really need some machines(lathe, mill, etc).
Man, do I wish I had a machine shop!
Let me mull it over a bit.
