Believe me, I would love to have the reddies to bring you down our way, but this retired Air Force dude has an expensive aeroplane addiction to feed.  I actually spent three very enjoyable years on a military exchange assignment with USAF Space Command in Colorado Springs CO in the late nineties, got my US pilot license (just needed a flight test and pass a test on local procedures), and flew around Colorado - you guys have some GREAT flying over there.

I'll start putting the feelers out for a local person who knows the ins and outs - as you say, it is worth the expense.

Thanks for the feedback guys - appreciate it.

Cheers,
Jim

Thanks Marc - helps a lot. 

The aeroplane is in Perth, Western Australia - a tad south from where you guys are located : )

Cheers,
Jim

Hello.

I'm looking at an O-235 Long-Ez for possible purchase - inspecting it in the next couple of weeks.  The instrument panel is OK, but I would want to update a few of the steam gauges and redo the layout.   I have a question for those who have built a Long-Ez - is the instrument panel an integral component of the structure, and/or can I build a new one to replace the older one.  The current owner can't help me with this advice, as he didn't build the aeroplane himself.  Appreciate any advice.

Tks,
Jim
