Gents,

I'll have the "classic six" on the right side (left side is the MGL Voyager) and I'll try to ballance between saving panel space vs. an overcramped six-pack.
What is the suggest / best distance between the 3.125" instruments?

I'm in the early stages of planning my panel, but I was planning to keep those steam gauges very far from my airplane. A few miles, at least.

I think that my steam panel looks real cool, and makes the pilot look smarter & macho because of all the gauges; versus blank TV screens. As much as I'd like glass, I might never change. :)
