Greetings all!
I had an idea for a recessed or ?tiered? instrument panel if you will for an RV-8. The idea came from military jets which have their PFD information (usually in the form of a HUD) and a primary FMS (knob, button, switch) panel spaced off of the main panel closer to the pilot?s reach and in the center of your field of view.
I am also considering a recess or cutout for my knees. While it?s not a huge inconvenience, my long legs do get caught up on the panel getting in and out.
Does anyone know of any RVs out there with modified instrument panels with extra cutouts, angles, tiers, etc.? I?d be interested in this kind of mod done to any model RV. Pics would be great.
P.S I didn?t know what thread to put this under, but it seems like all of the panel nuts like to congregate here so here goes.
Thanks and happy flying!
