I have just finished the panel and most of the wiring for Kit 51. As I'm
ONLY doing the electrics my role is nearly done.

I have had a load of fun doing it and if you would like to look at what I
have done please contact me off list.

I would be willing to do other panels for other planes - design to your spec
with some input from me. Pricing could be discussed. I have made up some
very neat looms inside the panel, and there are connectors thru the firewall
and through the top of the transmission tunnel.

I actually built an Audio Panel from a kit (RST 565) and it worked first
time. It is however over the top ! The transponder and encoding altimeter
will have to wait for a flight as I have no way of testing it !

My radio worked first time too (KX125)
