Show us your panel

When we started our goal was to have a simple, clean panel and I think we've accomplished that.

Step 1 - How to Populate Panel - Done

This was a 2 year process that was finalized at least 3 times, then changed.

Step 2 - Panel Layout - Done (I hope)

It took about a month of btting ideas back and forth. Informally we considered where items would be placed as they were decided on.

Step 3 - Planning to cut - Done (unless it changes, again)

We are on Rev. 3 and it is currently the final layout, though it is open to change until the cutting begins. Note: Android ASUS Transformer Tablet Computer (running Naviator) will be mounted with a RAM mount.

Step 4 - Cutting - Done(I'm thinking this is a Major Milestone)

With the help of Robert Haines (fellow member of EAA 292), we got the panel cut on Roberts home made CNC machine (8' x 16' cutting bed).

Step 5 - Painting and Populating - WIP

OK, all of the instruments are fitted and surprisingly, it looks almost exactly like the drawing I made. If you're interested you can follow us here.

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.

Well here it is finished (still need a knob for the map box). We're pretty happy w/ it.

Wow, what a great looking panel. Your flat screens look huge.

Decided to not mess with the Dynon D6. Made a removable flush mount for the Ifly 700. Labels/decals are done with waterslide decal paper and acrylic clear coat over them. Made up my own "Turbo Fox" graphic. Had a few paint boo boo's. Oh well, it will work.

Thank you.

The one on the left is a 10" Dynon Skyview, and the one on the right is my Asus TF101 (Android) Tablet running Naviator w/a RAM mount. The panel was designed around putting the tablet in (an iPad will also fit).
