RV-9A: Project Entry

Time to hang some avionics!
I've been looking forward to this part for a long time. After all the lamenting over what to put in the panel, this part is really fun, pulling all the parts together into a functioning panel. Here, I'm putting all the mounting brackets on using Allen screws and nylon locknuts. Also, you'll notice that altered the panel stand by cutting off the front supports on the panel mounts. The "slit" idea of holding the panel up for me didn't. After working on the panel while inside the slits, I noticed that the paint go all scratched up anyway. Dammit! So I had to strip the paint off and repaint the panel.
