I've added a lot of new goodies, mostly tacked to the existing panel. The results work well, but the panel is messy. Time for a refit.



Matt,

Carbon fiber may be a poor choice of material for a panel for a number of reasons.

With all the antennas in the cockpit these days such as transponder, Power Flarm, GPS for navigation, etc. it doesn’t make sense to have a panel made of RF blocking material such as carbon fiber.

Plain old fiberglass is a better choice as it doesn’t interfere with RF signals.
