I think that if you build to the plans, the longer instruments (turn/slip, DG if
you want one, etc.) will become problematic with regard to the cables, at least
in some spots on the panel. If you're not mass-challenged (i.e. Bernard sized)
you could extend the panel rearwards by 2 inches and still have enough room
to enter/exit the cockpit easily & that would probably be enough to keep all
instruments clear of the cables regardless of length & placement, although
you might still have to be creative about routing any plumbing out the back side.
Of course, you should ask yourself what instruments you really need, I mean, none
of us are flying or intend to fly these beasts in anything other than day VFR
conditions.

I guess I will check once the fuse is assembled and then make the adjustments.
Can anyone give me an idea of the distance from the panel to where the
aileron cables run through the back?

Kip,
Luckily I was able to finagle everything in there, but it is a very tight s
qeeze, especially because I put those brackets to hold the front seat shoul
der harness in there also. Wish I had some photos to post but I lost some s
tuff when my computer crashed.

I got a friend to cut and engrave my front and rear panels this morning with his
CNC laser. I can't get a picture to really show it off right but couldn't resist
posting.
