It's looking great! One of the very popular mods is to attach the seat belts to the structure below the floor.

Heck you might as well put the atlee tiedowns on now. Glad I did after seeing pierces pictures of the strut fittings.

Finishing up a few things to get the wings ready for cover. Where does the nav light wire exit the wing tip, through the wood bow or can I cover the wing with the wire coiled inside and then poke it through above or below the bow? Can't find anything specific in the drawings and not sure how much the nav light mount will cover, don't have them yet.
Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!

Piper ran it through a hole in the bow. I have done it that way and added a hole later but I put an inspection grommet out there so I can access it after covering. The nav light bracket covers a pretty good area so your hole and wire exit will be covered up if you fit before you cut the hole.

One more, check me on the aileron cables - 40123-76 to upper horn = 173 11/16" 40123-003 to lower horn = 167 15/16"
Stock wing
The cable assembly chart has several choices but I think these are the right ones??

Make sure you remove that interior by fuel system before fueling it up so you can fix the leaks before you ruin the paint. There’s always leaks.....

What size SuperCub do I ask for to get that size you used on the Cowl (without the 160)?

Just to close out this thread. N1938A received it's airworthiness certificate on Monday the 7th through a DAR from the Hartford FISDO. Lots of paperwork was exchanged ahead of time through email and most of his research was done when he came to do the inspection. After a close inspection of the aircraft and paperwork, including the 26 STC's and 337's, log books, Flight manual, AD research he handed me the new airworthiness cert.
I did some ground runs and leak checks and yesterday did the first flight. She flew beautiful, quick take off, lots of pull, flew over the field for 1.2 hrs at high power to break in the cylinders. Really happy that she flew hands off and real smooth, every system worked as it should. Love the CGR 30P, getting used to the 796 and Trig units. More nose down trim needed than I expected, I'll have to investigate that. Weight came in at 1167.
Thanks to everyone that helped along the way - Jim, Bill, Tom, Steve and others, you know who you are.

Congratulations, looks like a job well done. Just a tip, this picture is showing a very low power setting (something like a maximum of 65%) not really conducive for good break in.
