    Hello Dave,
    I used a Brother Label Maker with black letters printed on 1/4" clear tape.

    All the best,

    Tom,
    I have been following your build website and noticed you have installed your panel and are now wiring it. FWIW I found that it was MUCH easier to install all the panel components and then prewire as much of them as possible on the bench. Then install the panel in the airplane and finish up the wiring. In fact I came up with a way to pivot the panel down 90 degrees so the backside was facing up, which made the final "in-place" wiring much easier.

    I gave serious consideration to prewiring the panel on the bench but, in the end, I decided to wire it in place. My avionics-rocket-scientist friend is coaching me on assembling the harnesses on the bench and then installing then in the panel. I'll probably have to remove the radio mounting bracket to install the molex connector and antenna lead.

    It goes without saying that I may regret my decision. If this happens I'll "fess-up" on the website.

    At the moment my avionics-rocket-scientist friend is on some South Pacific Paradise Island fixing a radar station. I hate it when he abandons me like this.
