Initial Layout of the Panel - 6/2/2005
This is the preliminary work done in laying out the panel. I used full-size printouts, and taped them donwn on the panel to try to get the locations right. This allowed me to measure rib clearances and other items, to ensure I'd have adequate clearance everywhere for the panel. I originally wanted 3-1/8" instruments under the Cheltons, but they just won't fit without some serious changes to the lower panel....like removing screws and stuff. In the end, I went with 2-1/4" holes, and they look great and are a perfect fit. You sacrifice being able to use a 2 armed altimeter, and your ASI is generally not scaled, but oh well.
