Latest update to the panel design. Moved the choke and cabin heat handles away from the parachute handle.
I think this is the final design.

I've been told that I need a manual adjustment switch for the prop to go with the controller already in the panel. Described here.
Need both of these in the panel:

Feedback given to SteinAir:
- Remove "Push/Pull" in upper left (unless that's something I've missed?)
- Add a push/pull handle for "Cabin Heat" to the right of the parachute handle (possible to fit there?)
- Remove "Carb Heat" (there is none for the 914).
- Add a push/pull handle for "Choke" to the left of the parachute handle (possible to fit there?)
- Move Flap switch to above prop controller.
- Is the "Servo Bypass" for the 914's TCU servo motor bypass? I assume so. The Rotax manual says this switch should be guarded (see manual image below), so can we put one of those guarded-type switches there?
- Let's go with the square indicator lights (much cooler looking).
- Are the switches I'm using overkill since they're for high current and the VPX only requires low current? Do you have a recommendation for high quality switches that would make more sense (and look and feel great)?

Got my preliminary panel drawing from SteinAir. I think it looks great. Your thoughts?
I do like the square indicator lights as opposed to the usual round lights. Maybe move the flap switch above the prop controller and the carb heat closer?

2.5 hrs. finishing up the fuselage wiring/tubing. Other than properly tying down the wires, etc. through the center console area, ALL the wiring and tubing is done through the fuselage!!
Time to sever the left wing wiring.
And to cut off the pitot tubing...
All done including the pitot heat wires.
Routed through the main spar, covered up and tied down.
Back-side view where it will exit the side skin to the wing.
I'm going to remove those crossbars I put in and lay the bundles down on the bottom to give more clearance with the rudder cables.
Crosby sleeping through all the excitement. ;-)
