The new engine is now installed on the Archer.
Almost ready for testing.
The plane has also gone on a diet, and is feeling rather svelte.
Thirty pounds - yes 30 pounds! - of unused wiring has been removed from the aircraft after years of installers putting in new equipment and just leaving the old wiring for the removed items in place.
The plane is going to get a new weight and balance done once the engine is fully installed and all the parts are reassembled.
It's also going to be a lot easier to work on now that the excess wire is no longer getting in the way, especially under the panel.
Looking forward to flying it soon.
