At the end of last visit I discovered that if I wanted the aircraft to be classified as aerobatic, I would have to install the original jettison mechanism. So I modified my modification to built as per plans.
To do this I had to uninstall the vertical handle, install the lever and the handle.
This is the lever.



The handle and the return spring.



And the handle seen from the cabin side.



I then installed a paper copy of the panel. Some more little tweaking to be done.

Then I Isand the upper part of the fairing, at some places the fiberglass is not touching the tape, some filling will have to be done.



I then do the filling to smooth out the fairing. I think I will do another layup with some light weight clotn.
