Gents:

 

I’m a new guy on the mail list.  I’ve very much enjoyed reading your posts from the sidelines.  Thank you.

 

I will start a 5-week fast build of a IV-P in late July.  The kit is ordered with all the goodies, and I’ve been working with Lancair to design a panel.

 

I only have kitchen clearance to do this once, so I would like to get it as “right” as possible.  I’ve pieced this panel together with the help of the folks from Lancair.  They are telling me that this is now a “very regular panel” for their avionics shop.

 

I have attached the proposed panel and parts list for your viewing pleasure (if you have nothing better to do).   I’m looking for “function” rather than “fancy.”  You will notice the full sized steam gages next to the glass screens (I still use paper approach plates too!).

 

From your experience, I would be interested on your commentary of the design of the panel and the equipment list, especially what I may be leaving out (what am I missing?!?) or any other considerations.

 

Thanks in advance.
