JVL’s RV-14: Panel Design (Part 2)

This blog was created to memorialize the building process of my Van's Aircraft RV-14 and to satisfy the requirements for certification in the Experimental Amateur Built Aircraft category. It will also serve as a central location for ME to reference in the future on processes and techniques I used during the build. Additionally, it will allow my family, friends, and other interested builders the opportunity to follow along during my build…..and might be helpful to someone along the way.

Panel Design (Part 2)

Here is Panel Design #2 Aerotronics sent to us on May 26, 2021. The changes included:

1. Moved the “ALT AIR” and “OIL COOLER” knobs from the under panel bracket to the panel

2. Added the “Seat Heater” switches to the panel

3. Removed the “Standy EFIS Battery” switch and added a yellow rocker switch for this battery

4. Moved the ELT status light from the right side of the panel to next to the Canopy Jettison Handle

We will study this updated panel and see what changes we would like to make. More to follow.....
