 One of the 
                                most challenging  aspects of building your 
                                homebuilt aircraft is designing the layout of 
                                the instrument panel. lt seems every panel is 
                                unique - everyone chooses the instruments they 
                                like and creatively locate them on the 
                                panel.  
 Once your 
                                panel has been built, the instruments mounted on 
                                and behind the panel - along with their wire 
                                connections - are extremely difficult to reach. 
                                This week's 
                                Tip  will demonstrate a 
                                unique design that allows easy access to the 
                                back of 
                                your panel - a need that is often overlooked and 
                                appreciated only after the first time you need 
                                to make a repair, adjustment or alteration to 
                                any instrument on or behind the 
                                panel.
