    is there anywhere to buy a blank instrument panel for the IV or did you fabricate it yourself?

    Basic weight is 756 lbs. Weight savings will come from the panel, EFI, and LED lights. The panel is already 5 to 6 lbs lighter, minus about 6 to 7 for EFI (educated guess), and 2.1 lbs for the LEDs. So around 13 lbs on the conservative side.

    Kitfox sells the blank panel for about $165. I opted to have my panel cut using sendcutsend.com. Excellent company with quick turnaround.

    Thanks for the Info, do you by chance have a cad file of the panel?

    Double bump then with the HP upgrade, and the Power to Weight ratio. V nice.

    How does the weight compare to a stock 912 and any idea what the TBO is?
