Looks real nice Mic !
Looking good! Very nice keep them coming
Here are a couple pictures of the CF instrument panel we had fabricated. It has a ways to go, but a laser cutter will make short work of it.
Hay there SSFoxBuilder, carbon fiber is neat stuff and vary light wieght. I lost 2lbs. by making my model 5 panel. Plus It's a nice touch with a matt finish to keep the glare down.:p
Here is mine, building as funds are available ....2ea garmin g3x, and garmin autopilot and radio stack with audio panel...over kill I know, but I like it
Attachment 5682Good, thanks for asking. Here is a project I picked up in Montana a few weeks ago ragwing rw11
Recently my altimeter quit. I decided to go with the MGL ALT-3. However, I changed my mind and decided to bite the bullet and go with the MGL Extreme. The altimeter would have just done one thing. The Extreme is an all in one and will do more than I will ever need. I got it installed and I believe my panel is complete. Installation was very easy as it fit right into a 3 1/8 hole. Had to run an OAT sender which the extreme came with a nicer sensor than the Altimeter. I put it in the passenger rear quarter window under the wing. Haven't had a chance to fly it since we are in the midst of a blizzard here in central Texas but this weekend it's gonna be back in the 70's so I should be good to go this weekend.

I'm making progress. A little paint and some labels.
I blush to confess that I used gray propeller paint.
By the end of the week it should be permanently mounted in the airplane.

Nice Tom, looks great 👍
Hey Tom,
Panel looks great....Nothing wrong with prop paint:).....FWIW.....I used some left over body lacquer I had from a '87 Merc Grand Marquis.....proper application gives it a nice satin, non reflective surface (post # 5 on this thread). Also used it for the seat pan, glareshield, custom baggage bay...oh crap!...what didn't I use it for?
BTW - what did you use for the markings on the panel?
Cheers,
