Brief Description:  Cutting the instrument panel

The panel took shape over about 3 days and I am pertty happy with how it turned out, except for the top right corner where I touched the wet paint with my finger, I should know better by now. Anyway I will have to let it dry and then sand and recoat.

I cut the holes using a jigsaw and fly cutter.

I am installing a Dynon Skyview 10" display with transponder module, single ADAHRS, Engine monitor, and dual axis auto pilot.

Next to this will sit a Garmin 695 GPS.

Of to the side of this will be an ICOM A210 radio, and above this a standard airspeed indicator and altimeter as my backup instruments.

Last on the right is the map box and underneath this are 5 circuit breakers, the rest of the fuses will be standard automotive fuses that will live under the dash in a drop down panel.

The smaller holes on the left are the swithces for the master, alternator, fuel pump and avionics bus.

Below these is a standard key switch with Left and Right Mag etc.

The other switches to the right of the airspeed indicator are landing lights and strobes.
