This picture is at Steins shop. The screws are a temporary mount.
Thanks, Roger

Default AFS Panels

We often do custom panel layouts, we have done five RV-14 panels so far and all of them have some differences. We should be shipping three RV-14 panels this week and will post pictures of them soon. With our plug and play Advanced Control Module we can even sell you a panel without an expensive GPS Navigator and you can then easily add it later without doing any wiring.

I just want it on the record that I am sure that all of the pro panel builders that Van recommends do a great job. As I replied to one of our readers, I was quite certain that Rob will do custom work and that should be discussed with AFS directly. Choosing a builder assist is just a personal decision. As far as costs are concerned, choose what you need, get estimates and make your choice. As I stated previously, I would have built my own design except I don't think I would be around long enough to fly the plane if I did. I know that 90% finished and 90% to go is the truth when it comes to the panel wiring. Been there, done that.

This has always driven me crazy too, but after researching, it seems both uses are acceptable.

It also matters what time of year this was written. November-April in Oregon, almost everything is 'dampened'.

My comment was just a heads up that it will need to be corrected and for other builders to keep in mind.
They may be temp screws in the photo, but the permanent flush screws will require countersunk holes (which they are not). It is usually better if the holes get countersunk before the panel is powder coated / painted.
