Still working on mine, but here's an idea of how I would like the instrument panel to be layed out and to look.
This is my idea of a well layed out panel. It is on Tim Mulvey's fine example of a Long Ez, N656EZ, in Niagara Falls (the airport...not the falls itself) ;-). This is very close to the way mine is planned. Note the out-of-the-way switch panel on the right side.
This is the pilots eye view of the "office". Again, this is Tim's Long Ez, with my legs squeezed in (I've lost 25 pounds since then, so I fit much better now!). Even though it looks very cool, I don't plan on using carbon fabric for my panel...mine will be just normal, painted fiberglass.
Click here for a very good, panel designer. It has all the older and current instruments, switches, buttons, radios, and displays that are available and can be placed anywhere on the panel that you pick. You choose a blank panel in the correct size and shape for one of over 50 different homebuilt aircraft.
