Stan,

You are absolutely correct about the difficulty of fitting everything desired on our small panels.  It took weeks with panel design software to cram it in.  The spacing between adjacent holes is so small that I really should have used thicker aluminum.  As it is, it took a extra brace behind the pilot's side panel to give enough stiffness.  I will try to get photos of mine posted in the next few days.

Tom
