    Beautiful work! Quick question...is the trans tunnel side carpet tucked under the leather trans cover or just right up beside it? I am at this stage on my car and wondering what to do.

    Not me. My father in law is the pilot. I've been up a few times with him. Some of his hangar neighbors are building kit planes and they look very familiar (lots of clecos!)
