Default Autocad Drawings

Hi Guys

Is there an RV4 instrument panel autocad drawing on the web? I am overhauling my panel and I need to write a program for it.

Unfortuneately since the 3, 4 & older 6's are all somewhat scratch built when it comes to the panel (you just had to cut it out of a big chunk of AL sheet) you can't really use a "CAD" template for it. The only way to get a panel to be an exact match for a flying one of these birds is to make an outline of it from the existing panel. Been there done that a number of times for customers!

Cheers,
Stein.

I probably have one in my Panel Planner software for a 4. You might just cut the perimeter a little big and trim to fit when your done. It still might help place instruments. I can outpt a DXF file that you can pull into Auocad. If I can hep let me know.
