Looks really nice, you might think about adding a separate button for ignition. I added one next to my key switch when I added the soft start and have found it very useful.
I envy your Skyview, should be sweet

Gents,
I moved the Key Ignition vs Toggle Switch discussion to it's own thread. Good topic.
The offer from Leptronjohn to make CNC panels has been moved to its own thread. You will find it under classifieds and I stuck it at the top for now. Nice offer John.

On the first picture of the first thread Dan B, has a carbon panel bolt on a nice round contour dashboard do you know where to get those?

Sorry Eric...this one slipped past me.
That molding is the handiwork of DesertFox1 (AKA Papa). There were only a hand-full of them made over 10 years ago and I was fortunate enough to find one stashed in the corner of a hanger. I believe the mold is long gone.

Found the mold, it needed a little work but is now ready. I'm forming
one for Mark N next week and will run a couple extra. The part is
thermoformed from a weatherable material and is not structural, it is
a trim piece. Been using this type on the SS7, works fine, but the
challenge for the model 4 part is the custom glare shield you must
fabricate.
Eric, flat pieces of carbon fiber are available from dragoplate.com.
Very nice, quite pricey.

Any chance someone could post the 'Behind the panel' photos? I am trying hard to get mine at neat as possible but I might be expecting to much.

Re: Show us your panel
In my album (Link) I have a couple of photos of behind my panel.
The man who built my plane (now deceased) was very detailed oriented.
