Instrument pannel
As always, we made a jig from wood. Now we can make all the wiring at our second workshop. If that is
finished we will copy this into aluminum.
What you are missing in this panel, is the original Garmin G3X, trig radio and transponder. It will be delivered soon. Left of the propeller adjustment we will position the trim button.
As you can see the engine is in front. The BMW bmsk (engine computer) is positioned on the cold side off the fire wall. All the engine instruments will be connected with the display.
Time for the real work, copying in aluminum.
Looks like the real thing
On the RH side some space to leave some stuff
Wrapped it in carbon.
I wrote it all with a brother label writer. Clear white tape will do the job.
Decided to install a second battery, this one you can connect with the switch and gard.
First time powered the system....very strange horizon..
On the back of the panel, all the wire’s are now in the right position and started with replacing the tyraps for aircraft rope.
Final result...and we are happy with it.

Update, after 15 hours flight time...It is better to have the Efis direct in front of you. I am automatically flying in landing at the steam gages.... On the other hand, the co pilot has an easy acces to the Efis.
