Very well laid out. As to taking offense from the article, I guess if you are looking for an insult, you will find it.

I know a panel job is probably the most extensive work that needs the most skill and training to accomplish. At the end of the day, I am sure it will be wonderful and I hope I am blessed enough to be the winner. 3 in a J3 on floats just does not work anymore. Great job guys and some readers really need to comment less and consider themselves fortunate

I, having done a similar upgrade on my panel several years ago, can say that what you see in the picture is only the beginning of the work that will be done. If the job is done correctly all the existing wire will be removed not only from behind the panel but throughout the aircraft and all new wire will be installed. In my case a number of components were remotely located which required some modifications to the aircraft structure. This is not a simple job it requires a lot of skill.

If you feel “mildly offended” about something, then just don’t read the frikken article ! There’s always going to be things you don’t agree with or feel that could have said better or whatever. But don’t start with the “I’m offended” PC garbage – there’s too much of that in the world already. If you are that sensitive, you probably don’t need to be flying…just sayyin…

I also know that the finished product will amaze and dazel every pilot such as me. Looking forward to the final panel. Thanks for the update and I am keeping my fingers crossed. AOPA since 1963.

I’m compelled to say, I’m mildly offended by that comment. With the appropriate training and credentials, I believe you could.

I’d prefer that you honor the folks that can by writing about their achievements and craftsmanship instead of making such gross assumptions. Just my two cents for what it’s worth.
