Overview
The styling selected for the aircraft meant that the controls are installed in groups and means that for the fuel panel the control, power, guages and indicator lights are fitted into one panel.
Installation.
A facia panel was designed to accommodate the schematic and all material used was 2024-T3 aluminium alodined after fabrication.
The panel has a single AMP four [4] pin terminal featuring gold plated contacts and a robust lock. This fits into an aluminium bracket that is fixed to the facia using automotive trim tape to the facia and has proved remarkably robust. The 1 1/4'' UMA instruments are fitted with 9 pin RS232 plugs allowing disconnection.
The use of plus is critical to allow removal of the panel with all instruments and is one of the design criteria.

| Instruments are secured using #6-32 brass instrument screws. |

| The inter-wiring reduced the number of power/earth wires |
Comments
