Yes, Jon is correct. Don't know much more than that, as I've not seen owner at home airport for a little while, just exchanged a few texts. Plane is part 91 and as I recall, was part 91 before he bough it, too.
Did stick my head in the door the other day and mechanic was lifting 2nd engine into position on nacelle, so it should be in rigging by now.

None of my bike fleet has quick releases anymore. Big cabin and aisle even allowed me to keep pedals on. Anthony I was looking back at old posts and saw this photo of yours... Attachment: E2F3BA50-92C0-481A-835D-5D4CF499A0C8.jpeg I believe you have an early serial number like mine so therefore the original configuration had the "cheese grater" overheads. I notice yours doesnt.... was that an aftermarket cover? I like it!

As long as the trap doors for the O2 masks and slots for the lights were done correctly, I would think it could be made with a strip of sheet metal and some leather covering.
Anthony, are yours documented in a log entry somewhere? Be interesting to see how they logged it. That’s what I’m going to try to do Jon. We shall see.
