    Thanks! The picture makes it look better than it is as it doesn't highlight the 1 inch round blob of acrylic I put on too thick(left of the master switch), which subsequently peeled off. Of course all the decals were on and it was my final coat of clear. I tried to respray that one area to blend, but it will forever show through. I always screw up something when I'm painting, but am too impatient to make it perfect.

    Geo, join the club I tend to do the same thing you are doing which is pointing out the boo boos. I think most of us have several and I started telling a friend the same stuff and he told me I better quit that...Most of the time WE are the only ones that recognize the goofs cuz we know where they are at.
    Sometimes ya gotta just accept it's not all perfect and enjoy it.
    It looks great

    And this is Parrot's panel. The black box behind the throttle is the intercom.

    KPH, maybe?

    200 kph = 124.3 mph

    Everything fits! Tomorrow I'll put all the goodies back in the boxes and clean up the shop for painting.

    Nice panel Tom.
    I was at that point about 1.5 months ago and figured I have it wired in a few weeks. Its now 1.5 months later and I'm still not done wiring, but close. Allow plenty of time, the intercom wiring is a bear. I scrapped out my first intercom wiring harness and started over due to some poor solder joints. In hindsight I think buying the PS Engineering factory made wiring harness (at about $350) would have been a good deal, plus it is the only way they will give you a warrenty.

    A couple of photos of my project. A detailed story about my adventure in panel building may be found here.

    I have to say I've received lots of guidance by following this thread. One thing that struck me is that most everyone's situation is different requiring different panel arrangements. Someone who is the sole pilot with either no one or a non-pilot passenger in the right seat usually will cluster the instruments on the left side of the panel. I am extremely fortunate to have a wife who is a pilot and likes to fly. In this situation I decided to create mostly co-equal pilot stations. That is the reason I decided to install a Dynon D100 on the left and a D120 on the right. One processes flight information and the other processes engine information. But, since the two are networked, any information shown on one can be shown on the other. No need for an autopilot, she's sitting next to me. (Of course it goes both ways. I'm her autopilot.)

    At some point I'll be trial-fitting everything. When I do I'll try to post a picture.
