Instrument Panel

Instrument Panel

The beginning of my flight instruments. Someone told me I was dreamin' with the vertical speed indicator. All the instruments were used, but in great shape including two electric gyros and the price was right.
I started laying out the panel in Panel Planner pro. It was hard to get the gauges lined up with that program. So I measured each gauge and started drawing them in TurboCad V5. Eventually I will send the CAD file to a waterjet cutter and have it cut with an accuracy of .003". Good enough for KR work!
The full size CAD plot of the panel was glued to 3/8" plywood. Mounting the mock up I found out there are some dimensional changes that need to be made. This panel was drawn before the fuselage was complete. Basically everything will have to be moved 1.5 - 2" to the right and the fresh air vents need to be raised. Back to the computer.
