In this case two ignition coils and a switcher unit for my Corvair placed on the shelf ahead of the forward instrument panel. Don't know where else I would put them except on the firewall.

Just don't forget the braces on the butt rib. I did, and I had to go in and add strips top and bottom for two spaces between the aft spar and the trailing edge. I am covered and primed now but the inside of the wing doesn't look near as nice as yours since I painted everything with grey epoxy primer. That is what I had in stock.

The Pietenpol will replace my J-3 for slow and low flying. I just need to be building something!
