    Default Instrument Panel Template

    I think my next project will be a new instrument panel. Perhaps in Carbon Fiber.

    I've added a few things to the existing panel and it just needs some serious re-arranging.

    So, would any of you guys that have kits be willing to trace out the outline of the panel on a piece of paper and mail it to me???

    I'll pay for postage etc. It would be a big help. Email me at Stinson97502@gmail.com if you can help.

    Thanks
    Rodney

    So, you want a tracing of a blank panel, uncut from the factory?
    What model kitfox do you have?

    I am building a model 7. I can supply an uncut template from the factory if this is what you need.

    Rodney - I don't know if this will help but you can take the attached file to you local Office Depot or Staples and have them print it out full size (about $5) and you'll have two outlines to use.

    I am looking to re-do my panel also. I opened the Zip file and I was able to get to the CAD file however, I do not have an application to open the file with. Is there a good easy to use CAD application out there that I could use to open the file with. Further, could it be used to add the cut-outs that I want for the various items to the file so that I could then take the file to a shop to have the panel laser cut?

    You have a EAA member number in your signature, so you can download a fully functional version of Solidworks for free. I've spent my entire working life doing CAD and "speak" many languages. I can honestly say Solidworks is hard to beat. While it has a learning curve if you want to become an expert, importing a panel file and poking some holes in it is a great place to jump in. Start with some of the built in tutorials and you'll know when you're ready to pull in the panel.

    This is what comes in the kit. It is not cut, just marked for the outside shape. I’m not sure if this will help but I can send you a template of this if it will help.
