Hi,
just made a new instrument panel for my Yak52 to cover all the unused holes. My
scanner was too small, so I took a picture of the panel and used it as a backdrop
to draw the new panel in vector format. The original instruments are very
easy to measure and draw, you can find templates for western instruments on the
web. Draw one and copy/paste most of them.
I installed a GRT Mini, since the original horizont was missing.
Had the panel cut on a waterjet including all screw holes.
Using ie. Illustrator or a CAD programm, whatever you like. The waterjet needs
a DXF. Just a few hours of work if you start from scratch.
Picture shows work in progress, center main panel is new. I am considering moving
to new torx screws, the original russian ones are hard to find, esp. new.
Used std spray paint. A more durable paint would be nice, anybody out there with
powder coating ? How does it look after some time ?

Ordinary spray 1 step is the cheapest way but will scratch easily. You
could use a 2 part epoxy system spray on product. I had mine powder coated.
It make for a very hard and beautiful surface. One draw back. Many panels
are part of the grounding for the electrical system and items that may
need a ground on the panel. I had a problem where my gear lights were not
working. The grounding turned out to be though the mounting screws of the
gear light assembly. After I ran a drill bit though the mounting holes, to
break the powder coating (it was acting as an insulator) they started working
fine. You may find that with a 2 part epoxy system also.

ner and it worked great and lasted forever.
