Sure, I'd be happy to. My feeling was that the area the above your
head was blocked by the bottom side of the leading edge of the wing, anyway,
so why not make it a place for things you would want fairly close.
Funny thing about that "close" business, tho. Back when I was working on
my Kolb quite a bit, I built this panel back in 2001. Needed glases to see
up close "some". Now, 6 years later, I need glasses to see up
close...period! But, I guess that's okay, tho, because the FAA (pilot's
license) says I need to have reading glasses with me, anyway. (Actually, I
can see, it's just that things are a little blurry.)
Back to the panel; gages are self explanatory, ignition switch, clock
(from Honda Civic) intercom, aircraft swing down/(and then detach if you
want) cockpit light, and switches are for strobes and position lights,
avionics master, electric in-flight adjustable prop, etc.
Oh, and I have a rather cool DOOR mounted throttle lever.
Best to all, Mike in SW Utah

Hi Mike,
Do you have a photo of your design, if so would you please pass it along?
Thanks,
Al

Mike/All,
In the future, please post pics via the matronics website and
guidelines.
It won't slow the e-mail down for those of us on dial-up.
Thanx!

The overhead panel is a great idea !!! I have been running out of room also on my pedistol, and dont want anything bigger that would block my view out the front. An overhead is the answer if I ever want to add anything more.

David,
Please post a LINK to pics, so those who are interested can click
and view, and those who aren't (esp. those of us on dial-up) aren't
hamstrung waiting for a few minutes for pics we don't need/want.
Thanks,
Ed in JXN

Hi Mike,
Not all of us share your sentiments, and things go MUCH faster here
when pics aren't posted to the e-mail.
Don't know why, but this list is the only place I run into this.
Other lists/my buds all seem to send links, and I can pick & choose which
ones I'd like to view (which is the minority).

Nice looking panel, Mike W.
As an alternate location for those extra switches that never seem to fit
in the stock Kolb instrument panel, I chose the floor pan, just forward
of the passenger-side seat. This nearly-vertical section of tin is
useable real estate, directly below the passenger's knees.
Here, I fabricated a 4"x10" panel onto which is mounted little stuff:
the master switch, start button, fuel pump switch, strobe switch, power
jacks (3), and the fuse box. The panel is not visible from my seated
position in the cockpit; I activate the switches by feel.
