Panel design website

Postby fastj22 » Tue Jul 31, 2018 8:04 pm

A neighbor of mine just reposted his panel design website he created a few years go. Its free. There is a A-model template and I will be sending him specs for the B-model when I get my kit.

This site is cool! I was looking for something just like that.

I uploaded a photo of my plans page with the B-model panel as an experiment. It works but it isn't too pretty. If you type in Waiex when searching for panels it'll show up. I'll do some photoshopping and upload a better version later.

Has anyone built or have an interest in exploring an all-analog panel for Sonex B/Waiex B with Center Stick with real gauges... with moving needles?
I'm an old school, former Comanche 260B owner/pilot who has a love/need for traditional gauges.
The standard minimum six-pack plus Tach, Oil Temp are most important. Depending on space, maybe Oil Pressure and Amps.

Oil pressure is required, see: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/chapter-I/subchapter-F/part-91/subpart-C/section-91.205

91.205 doesn’t apply to EAB. No instruments are required at all. If you later want to fly night or instrument, then 91.205 will start to apply per your oplims.

Thanks, Gordon. How are you getting along with your build with the Corvair? I've watched your vid on YouTube several times.

You are indeed correct, it's not required. IMO not installing one would be very unwise.
