A friend recently bought a flying -8 and wants to redo the panel.
Who would you recommend to cut his future panel?
Thanks!
... After glass came out I started to use a scroll saw for all the square holes. Not hard. Cut the holes a little proud and finish with a file.

Another recommendation for Bill at Up North Aviation.
Upgraded my 9A panel to all glass. Bill cut my panel and did an excellent, accurate job.
BTW, if you haven't tried it, eHangar has a simple little *free* panel design tool. It also prices out the design with a BOM for all the avionics.

I've been tinkering with a new layout.
This looks like a great tool however they want a tremendous amount of personal information to register. It seems like they are data mining to sell the information.
I cut a couple myself, and didn't like the result. Used Bill, and it was perfect.Try Bill at Upnorth Aviation in Vermont. Fast and 1/2 the price of Stein when I checked a year or two ago. A friend recently used them for a new -8 panel and he did a terrific job. You can have Vans drop ship the new panel to his shop. Word of caution, there are two panel part numbers, so make sure you get the right one.
