I used the RR panel and forward deck for my KR-2. On the back face of the instrument panel is a aluminum sheet 0.040 to strengthen the fiberglass and make an electrical ground for all the instruments and radios. All holes for instruments and screws are match-drilled through the fiberglass, aluminum sheet and bracing. The bottom of the panel has a 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/16 inch aluminum angle for stiffing the edge. An additional angle goes between the center bottom and the C box at the fire wall for additional bracing and to shorten some wiring between the panel and the fire wall. The aluminum sheet helps to keep down electrical and radio frequency noise interference. https://s3.amazonaws.com/expercraft/sidwood/18463865595144e88cd2fca.jpg
Sid Wood Tri-gear KR-2 N6242 California, MD, USA ---------------------------------------------------------------- I am torturing myself with the decision to build the instrument panel out of aluminum or do a layup of glass and foam. Can I have your input on what you did? I value greatly the inputs and discussions on this forum and its great to be able to be knocked back into reality by your comments and suggestion... working like the dickens to get this bird flying...
