After a bit more tweaking I think I'm close to the final draft. Today I got the radio stack situated to make sure there are no interference issues behind the panel, and was able to move the "six pack" a little left, and a little down. Balance and symmetry are important to me, and I think this looks pretty good given what I have to work with...
Looks like I'm not going to be able to avoid sticking the primer and starter on the lower right due to space limitations. I'll just have to do a little more stretching and learn not to kick the instrument panel when I climb into the airplane....after this panel is done, I'd be more careful around it anyways.
the main thing here is the big holes. I'll be relocating the switch and c/b rows a little higher to "center up" a little better...
Worked on the radio stack most of the day, making sure everything is square and no interference issues behind the panel...just need a few more nuts and bolts and this will be done. I know, I know...I shouldn't have the space between the com and Xpdr, but there is method to my madness and I'll just leave it at that...unless somebody really wants to know why I am doing it this way.
Here is the final(ish) draft on the "Paint Panel". It's not really to scale, so it looks like there is more room in certain places than there actually is. For this reason I'm not committing to the mixture, cabin air, and magnetos just yet...the big stuff will stay where pictured.
