Instrument Panel

I am to the point that I must cut the holes in my panel. Does anyone know
of a source for full sized instrument faces in paper or something. I would
like them to place on the panel to have a full size view of the layout
before cutting. The layout could be shifted around until I find the best
layout for the panel.

Charlie, if you have a scanner attached to that computer, grab a catalog
and scan in what ever you want.

Otherwise, a simple set of 3-1/8 and 2-1/4 inch construction paper
circles would work. Write "AS" for airspeed, "ALT" for altimeter, and
"Christmas 2008" for the full color panel mounted GPS?

Watch out for dead space.
Things behind the panel that will get in the way.

Another tool that might help with some of the layout stuff is

It's not full size (but I hear that's coming this week) but might be a
good early step if you haven't done it already.

Aircraft Spruce has them in their catalog.

The Aircraft Spruce and Specialty catalog has them I think. And I mean in
the catalog that can be cut out or copied not something you have to order.

I looked at this, and liked it, but it has a limited number of panels to
choose from, and the chances of the one I need being there (Mine is a
homebuilt) are slim. I saw no provisions for a user to enter their own
panel so as to lay out the instruments.

I have the AS&S Catalog for 2005-2006, and cannot find the layouts anywhere,
could you help with a page number or something?

I looked through my '05-'06 edition last night and couldn't find them
either. All I could find was one page with one drawing and dimensions. It
was in the instrument section.
