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.

You can get carbon fibre panels at http://www.pimp-my-glider.com/ (no joke). ( I'm not affiliated, nor do i have any experience with them yet.)

Question - Should a panel be made solely of carbon fiber? I know it is strong/light but what might happen if my head hits it? Fibers imbedded in the skull? Is this better/worse than my fiberglass panel (DG)? I have seen aluminum backed carbon fiber panels which seems better - but do I want to hit aluminum. Or how about using the 3M "carbon fiber" (not real) film used in the auto industry? Lots o' questions!

what might happen if my head hits it?

I am not endorsing this product just a general observation; if you are
in a situation where you are able hit your head on the instrument panel
while strapped in with a 4/5 point harness you probably won't have to
worry about what happens to your head.

Cheers,
