This forum contains builder discussion topics. These are topics where members can post messages to the builders. These topics will stay at the top of the Badland Builds forum topics for easy access.
Members are encouraged to subscribe to builders they wish to follow. To subscribe, go into the Badlands Builds forum, scroll down to Topics. Select the topic of the builder you wish to follow. Click on the wrench at the top of the message (right next to the Post Reply). Click on the Subscribe Topic. From then on an email notice will be sent when a post is made in that builder's discussion log topic. Builders are encouraged to subscribe to their own discussion topic so they will be notified when someone leaves a post for them.
At the very top of the Badlands Builds forum are the builders sub-forums. Builders are the only ones allowed to post in their own sub-forum (remember this is a log for them and others to follow, not a discussion area) - that's what the builder discussion topics are for.
Builders - submit a request using the comment, private message, or email to request a builder sub-forum. If we become aware of a build, in most cases we'll automatically create a builders log for the builder.

Progress on this 70 degree, mid-January day in North Texas. I fabricated the panel center brace and did a trial fit. The panel is hinged to allow easy access to the firewall *wiring") side. The center brace was made from a length of 0.5" aluminum tube, flattened on one end to fit the angle of the panel and the fuselage mounting tab. The panel flange will be fitted with a #8 rivnut to attach the panel. I plan on running a wire thru the fuselage tab end attaching to the top of the panel to hold it in place while inspecting/working the wiring. Picture that later.
