This site was in Sport Aviation, June edition. For those of us that are currently building, this is a great tool. All panels are to scale as are the instruments. It gives you a really good idea of how your panel will look. I updated my web site with the panel I want for my GN1. I would appreciate any comments on the layout that I have chosen, link below is my web site.

Plus, Saturday morning is the Retsof Garage Sale. All 4 streets of town. If things look good I may come down so if you see a ratty white and dark green Taylorcraft say hi.
