Bob and Nita,
Thanks for the response. I looked at your gallery and noticed Nellie Too was under construction in 2009. Ladybug Too was the sixth R-29 constructed, or so I am told. I can see some improvements! The location of one of the electrical panels at the helm looks like a good idea. On Ladybug Too all of the panels (AC and DC) are located on the aft paneling at the entrance to the cave. Nephews and nieces have "accidently" bumped off a few items from time to time so I am thinking of adding a clear hinged cover to protect them. Our compass is outside in front of the helm window. It still leaks after a number of repair attempts. We would abandon it completely but how to cover the remaining hole without it looking bad is a concern we have not addressed. There are a couple of other gripes but we really like her and hope to have the last of our lightning strike issues resolved in the next day or two. Sea trials will follow tomorrow's repair and that should end it. We have had a rough time dealing with all of the issues from burned out LED's to fuel senders and the ECM, Interface Module and Display. It is running now but we have one more sensor to replace that the folks in Germany had to tell us what the heck it was. It is a "measuring device" on the high pressure fuel pump.
Pat and Carolyn, Ladybug, Too
