    Looks really nice, you might think about adding a separate button for ignition. I added one next to my key switch when I added the soft start and have found it very useful.
    I envy your Skyview, should be sweet

    Gents,
    I moved the Key Ignition vs Toggle Switch discussion to it's own thread. Good topic.

    The offer from Leptronjohn to make CNC panels has been moved to its own thread. You will find it under classifieds and I stuck it at the top for now. Nice offer John.

    Well here it is finished (still need a knob for the map box). We're pretty happy w/ it.

    Wow, what a great looking panel. Your flat screens look huge.

    Decided to not mess with the Dynon D6. Made a removable flush mount for the Ifly 700. Labels/decals are done with waterslide decal paper and acrylic clear coat over them. Made up my own "Turbo Fox" graphic. Had a few paint boo boo's. Oh well, it will work.

    Thanks! The picture makes it look better than it is as it doesn't highlight the 1 inch round blob of acrylic I put on too thick(left of the master switch), which subsequently peeled off. Of course all the decals were on and it was my final coat of clear. I tried to respray that one area to blend, but it will forever show through. I always screw up something when I'm painting, but am too impatient to make it perfect.

    Thank you.

    The one on the left is a 10" Dynon Skyview, and the one on the right is my Asus TF101 (Android) Tablet running Naviator w/a RAM mount. The panel was designed around putting the tablet in (an iPad will also fit).
