    New to forum: avionics tech and aircraft restorer

    Good morning everyone,
    This is my first post, thanks for having me. I am an avionics tech from Canada and have recently been involved in the restoration of a 1937 Lockheed Electra. I am VERY interested in vintage aircraft instruments and panels. Can you point me in the right direction as far as this site is concerned? I would like to collect manuals and documents/blueprints of panels and instruments. They are fantastic masterpieces, not like boring glass cockpits! Anyway, thanks again.

    Yes, Amelia flew a model 10, ours is a 12. Very similar in looks though. Thanks to all for the welcomes.IMG_0300.JPG
