A picture sure is worth a thousand words! Now I see what you mean about
the borders...
Nice looking panel! As you said, too bad the Dynon's weren't lit up for
affect and color! <G>
I designed a couple of panels for pharmaceutical production equipment in
my former life. For my Long EZ's panel, I was thinking of doing
something similar to what I did on them, and that was to sort of
"cluster" instruments by using decorative boundary lines.
I couldn't come up with a good way to do it and still look professional
and not like someone stuck some automotive trim tape around the panel
(which is what I did on the ones I did for Pennwalt) until you came up
with this idea.
Thanks for the photo...it's going in my panel folder!
Time to rethink!

If anyone has nice pictures of panels (or anything else
related to the construction of their airplanes) I'd be
pleased to add it to the /Pictures folder on aeroelectric.com
You can e-mail directly to me as an attachment. Be sure
to include a description of what we're looking at. I'll
add descriptive text to the photo and post it with a descriptive
file name.

And for anyone else who asked, I just placed the picture of Frank's
panel with the Avery clear label labels on my website here:
www.agelesswings.com/LONG EZ/short!%20(160).JPG
Hope you don't mind, Frank...if so, just let me know...I'll remove it.
Thought I'd save you a bit of emailing until Bob gets it loaded in the
archives if he wants.

Oops...
You'll have to cut and paste if your email program leaves the .jpg off
the end as mine did...
Or, here's a tinyurl version to link to it:

That should get you there without any problems.

(snipped. But same topic)
Has anyone done anything with "back lighting" a piece of engraving plastic
(the two layers stuff with white on bottom, and black on top)? My new
Cessna has LED back lighting for everything. Most are a raised plastic
piece with the white showing the light thru, however, what gave me the idea
for the engravers plastic was the callsign, it's just that plastic with an
LED backlight.
Pictures here.
http://www.highrf.com/gallery/38AL-Panel/DSCN0418
I'll bet the other, non-engraved is just some sort of "reverse" silkscreen
on white or semi-see-thru plastic.
Hehe... Aint it interesting how we turned this into a panel discussion Smile

I can't say enough good things about Steve Davis (aka The PanelPilot) in
Memphis who did my panel- absolutely no kickbacks! Here's a description of his
process- click >>Next Entry>> on each page, and click on the fotoz for larger
image.

Obviously I'm very happy with the results...
Thanks, Steve!

When I was a mechanic here at FedEx, I engraved data plates for equipment. I have a
friend who was rebuilding a Cessna 140 and needed his panel reworked.. I took a
piece of clear plexi and cut it to the shape of his panel. Each gauge was marked and
I engraved the names/nomenclatures in REVERSE on the plexi. I then filled the
letters with white tire lettering stick and turned the panel over. It was clear, see
thru, and had all the engraving on the back side and highlighted in "never get
dirty" white. The now top of the panel is smooth. It's lasted for years and the
letters are still crisp, the paint is still white. They are "under" the glass!

I'll second Mark's enthusiastic indorsement of Steve Davis' work. We had
him cut out all of our panels from aluminum and then cut out overlays from
a special overlay material that he ordered. He reverse engraved the
lettering in the overlays for back lighting. I did not backlight any of
the lettering. We chose panel flood lighting made from EL strips (from
Steinair) hooked into a dimmer. We didn't have the room for LED's and
backlighting with EL is not very far along in the experimental world. Can
do it later if someone can provide an easy solution.
I did the panel in AutoCAD and his computer setup can import that very
easily.
I'll second Mark's impression of Steve as a great host ( barbecue joint)
and superb craftsman. I drove the 600 mile trip to Memphis twice to be
there when the cutting was done. Great time.
