September 20th - 2007

After months and months of drawings, the instrument panel layout was finally decided and the holes cut to receive the instruments.
It's really emotioning to see all the instruments in place and you look at your panel in the same way you will look at it the first time you'll pust the start button...

I'm quite satisfied with it; the 2-1/4" engine instruments are in the top row, while the VFR 3-1/8" instruments in the bottom row.
Mag switch and start button are left side while the intercom and EGT/CHT gauge right side.
Will cut a hole just above the intercom for the ELT display.
A big 20° turn-slip coordinator is positioned jus below the le VSI at the middle of the panel.
