Check the reg's for the "required" instruments. I consider my panel as minimum and would still like to get an artificial horizon. I have: 200mph ASI sensitive altimeter electric T&B (go electric if you can) Vertical speed indicator exhaust gas temp cylinder head temp fuel gauge for each tank tach oil pressure and temp, volt / amp meter vertical card compass This is probably pretty standard for most KR's with one or two exceptions. Many probably don't have any gyro instruments. If you think you will be spending a considerable amount of money to build the panel I'd suggest you look at the 10 in 1 all electronic unit that Dana Overall had at the last Gathering. I think it is made by Dynon or something similar. Help me out here Dana or someone. Plan you panel completely before cutting the first hole. It will make for a nicer panel and you won't end up with things scattered all over the place. I have a left side throttle and fly with right hand on the stick. I placed all my switches and controls on the left side so I don't have to reach across my body or change hands on the stick to operate things. A little forethought goes a long way. Larry Flesner
