Good suggestion, Brian, but there are two problems. First, you can't
get the panel size very accurately off DG's drawing in order to scale
it properly in AutoCAD. Second, there's no ClearNav thingy offered by
DG, and the scale problem arises getting one into their drawing.
Still, it may be good enough for a first approximation - I'll play
around with it.

If anyone has a dimensioned LS8 panel outline in AutoCAD, though, I'd
be grateful for a copy. R14 dwg format would work best.

Here is a suggestion- go to:

http://www.dg-flugzeugbau.de/instrument-panel-e.html

and select the LS8 panel file, that may be enough for your use. If
not, convert it to an image file (with free software MWSnap) and
import that into AutoCad. Then draw on a layer over the image file. I
did the same thing for a DG300 and clearnav was just never going to
fit.

John,
Many of the instruments are dimensioned, so you could just scale up or
down until they measured correctly, and then you could draw a clearnav
or paste in an image file and scale that until it matched as well.

But of course if you can get the DWG file from someone all the
better.

good luck,
Brian
