Back into 181 Baker Built this week after giving some time over the last month
or so to other secret squirrel Drag Bucket and Little Plane projects.
Time to orchestrate the panel upgrade after reviewing other's creative europan
ideas and spending a solid week 3D modelling up all the flight instruments and
moving stuff around to find the ideal position for it all. Some analogue, some
glass, some mad professing about ergonomics, redundancy, aesthetics, and real
estate preservation and reclamation with a strong emphasis upon the importance
of knowing what time it is!
Now to buy the missing bits on the shopping list for this year's chrismakah present
to self... should be pleasant once all done. Then the upholstery can be addressed!

Thanks guys!
Pete, all products used come from a small company here in the US called Southern
Polyurethanes (SPI). They really specialize on primers (their epoxy primer is
fantastic) and clears. If you go to their forums (highly recommended if you
want to learn a bit about painting) you will see they specialize on expensive
car restorations and they do cater a bit to the experimental aircraft community.
The final result does look very good although I must say that these new paints
and guns (so called "EPA Compliant") proved to be a huge challenge despite having
done a bit of painting in the past. As the owner of SPI told me (yes, you
get to talk to him) his compliant paints suck compared to the old days but they
are better than the other ones out there and that the learning curve would be
long and steep, he was not kidding :) But I can say I learned a lot (not that
I am doing something like this again) and if anyone out there is interested
I will share the good and bad of it.
By the time I painted the last part (cowling) I got good at it. I am particularly
proud of the outcome of the cowling seam (pics). I hope it lasts.
Chris

Hi Area 51
Telling time is important! My wife teaches Honors High School Chemistry. It amazes
me that some of her students can't tell time with a analog hands!

It came with 1 incandescent bulb that did little to illuminate. Ended up making
a G11 disc and mounted a bunch of small LEDs that matched our EL Aviation Blue.
Balancing light was a bit tricky as the right side would hurt passengers eyes.

We too are going with a grayish theme for instrument module. The top and front
edge going with a flat flat black.

Impressive CAD work and renderings A51.
First, I love my AV-30, you wont be disappointed. Same as you I wanted the round
analog gauges look and I'm pleased to have done that.
The only thing I think I would consider if I were you is have an electronic engine
monitor. I had all the round gauges as you show but switched to a single MGL
EMS-1 and I am very happy with it. Super simple, accurate, uses a single small
hole and it's very inexpensive. I have found analog engine gauges to sometimes
not be the most accurate or reliable. I still have analog engine gages in
my LongEZ and I have problems every so often.
Very nice work.
Chris

You can catch a glimpse of my AV-30 and EMS-1 in this picture (taken a couple of
days ago).

WOW that looks beautiful! I'd be very proud of that paint job. I'm at that stage
were I need to consider paint and would be interested in what path to take.
It never even dawned on me that there is a new EPA techniques now...oh boy.
I had to do a double take on the N11EU as my Uncle own N111EU.
