Music: Easy 80’s

After cutting the holes for the switches, circuit breakers and panels the holes for the retaining screws can be drilled and the panel painted in readiness for the avionics to be fitted.

Most of the instruments sit on top of the panel but the prop controller is fitted from behind so it’s a little more difficult to drill the holes correctly.
Once all the holes for the instruments and screws have been drilled the panel is sanded down with 600 grit wet & dry and then is can be primed with plastic primer.

Pleased with the panel so far. Just the ignition switch to fit and a couple of top coats to match tie interior and then I can start installing the switches, circuit breakers and instruments and then start the wiring.
