side consoles are installed with 2 BID over the outside faces of each 

console, and 1" minimum lapping onto the rest of the fuselage 

structure. The consoles are now strong enough to put weight on. 

INSTRUMENT PANEL INSTALLATION 

.....

 It is suggested that the Instrument Panel not be mounted in the 

fuselage permanently until all cutouts for instruments, radios, and 

equipment have been made. 

.....

However, at this time, you may elect to make the small sub-

panels that extend from the bottom of the instrument panel to the top 

of each side console and the center console. The width should be the 

same as the width of the console. For material, you may use the 1/8" 

plywood, 0.063" aluminum, or even 1/4" thick white foam with 1 BID on 

each side. 

.....

These sub-panels are useful for switches, gauge5, and as mounts 

for controls.
