Oh, Guru. Pray tell, what is the secret to happiness and contentment.
Never argue with an idiot.
Oh, but I disagree!
Yes; you are right.

Mid year 2022 UPDATE!!!
Team RCA are in full steam ahead mode, pushing for an August roll out... The amount of time taken to establish clear system locations, failure points, dual/triple redundancy options, testing, etc... goes along way in keeping this brute of an aircraft and it's crew/pax SAFE!
All panels have been pre-fitted, we're now completing the final systems installation including avionics (screens arrived from Dynon), 80% of the way! Next will be paint shop, fitting custom seats and onto the rollout for test flying.
Firewall Forward
Systems
As a matter of interest, the current design setup is safer and contains redundancy that's far superior than the manufacturer (Titan) build file.
Avionics
Thanks to all those for their PM words of encouragement or questions I've answered which I thoroughly enjoyed engaging in.
Until the next update! Have a GREAT weekend

Firewall Forward
- Cowling - Custom scoop vents added for cooling (mount scrubbed up on cowl, added the cooling feature as a recovery)
- Cowling - Custom cnc'd frame, installed around manifold
- Cowling - Dipstick panel/access panel to rear engine
Systems
- Under forward section of fuselage - Dual fuel pumps, fuel flow sensor, solenoid, water cooling pipes, over flow hydraulic brake fluid
- Rear fuselage - Batteries (one located in the tail as backup and the other further forward), hydraulic pump, OONO reverse relay module, pressure sensing probes for up/down on gear, engine bridge hydraulic gear pressure system config, relay switch on the hydraulic pump (prevent a hyd pump burn out situation), starter solenoid.
As a matter of interest, the current design setup is safer and contains redundancy that's far superior than the manufacturer (Titan) build file.
Avionics
- Rear panel - Taking shape

Looking awesome
While you are busy add an external power connector. As CB50 has enough capacity to crank the engine and charge the battery.
