CNC Instrument Panel

[RV6_OKLA]

I am upgrading my RV6 panel from steam guages to glass and used Up North Aviation (VAF advertiser) to cut the new panel.

On 2/13/2013 I started communicating with Bill Morelli at Up North Aviation regarding cutting out my new instrument panel for my RV-6 panel upgrade. I sent Bill the layout for my panel and he looked it over, made a few modifications, and emailed me a file containing a full size image of the new panel. I took the file to Staples and had it printed out and checked the new dimensions. Perfect fit! I notified Bill that the design was ready to cut and sent him a panel blank. I received the panel on 2/28/2013 and it looks great! I highly recommend Up North Aviation and Bill is very easy to work with.



Here's the panel painted with instruments test fitted.

Jerry drew up his panel layout in Corel Draw and exported the file in the DXF format.

I was able to make some small tweaks to his DXF to use it with my CNC system.

Bottom line is there are other programs besides CAD that can generate a DXF file.

If you want to get professional and outstanding attention for your panel cutting and gas cap engraving, get in touch with Bill from Up North Aviation.
I was very impressed how well we communicated the adjustments to my file provided. The panel cuts are very clean. As soon as I get some photos ready I will send to Bill for posting in his website. Highly recommended!

Jerry: Care to share some details about your annunciator panel? Thanks.
