CLUTCHCARGO - that’s the name. He was a funny cartoon seaplane pilot character from a TV show that aired here back in the 60’s. --- It’s a Chicago thing.

Avionics Finished

Avionics finished.  Have an interior camera mounted now (GoPro HD with fish-eye lens) in the middle of the cabin ceiling, just aft of the front seats.  Also we will be installing an HD bullet camera on the vertical fin outboard on the left side of the elevator (stab).  Should be able to get some really great water take-offs and landings.  Here are some shots of the panel (pics taken with Nikon D3X - 24.5 megapixel - high resolution).
