Katmai 260se

We are expecting a visit from Kevin Moore late this week.  He is anxious to see and “fondle” his new bird.  We hope he has some warm clothes to bring along.  The forecast is for daytime temps in the low 40’s, but this is winter in Kansas…  We have started the “tear down” phase and hope to have it to avionics by April.  

In addition to the Katmai conversion, Kevin’s list of options is pretty extensive; the BRS parachute, HID landing/taxi lights, front seat eyeball air vents, Rosen visors, front and rear BAS harnesses and belts, EDM 700 w/OAT and oil temp options, FS450, JPI slimline tach and manifold pressure and GAMI’s, to name just a few.  The interior will be the same as my 260se (N58565) with the exception of the carpet color, while Kevin is still noodling what the exterior colors and trim will be.   He is clear on some of his new avionics including a GNS530, GL30, GTX330, STEC30 w/GPSS, and GPSMAP496 all nestled neatly in one of our striking new metal panels.

Stay tuned as we chronicle the progress on Kevin’s New Katmai.
