P.S. A change I made since the photos were taken, was that I reduced the breakers from 3 down to 2. One for now will be 20 amps and the other 5 amps.
They will be the two next to the starter button. In the area of the previously anticipated 3rd breaker, I will have one of the panel attachment bolts.

Apparently I suffer from lack of knowledge, lack of experience changed with being tempted by perfectionism. That is a miserable, stuck situation so I am hoping you Or others in the group can help me. I have decades of hang gliding experience and now I want to build a Xenos motor glider.
Some of the factors for locating the instrument panel items included the size of the device behind the panel. For example a bulky item could not be located too low because of the angle of the support structure at the bottom edge. That’s why smaller switches are on the bottom edge but not the breakers.
Also my plan is to install all instruments switches and devices on a flat sheet of aluminum the exact size of the panel that attaches to the aircraft. I will use a number of bolts to attach the flat, instrument-laden sheet to the attachment points for the instrument panel frame that will be riveted to the Aircraft frame. That way I can just loosen several bolts and remove the whole instrument panel for ease of access for future maintenance repairs or troubleshooting.
Perhaps as a result of knowing my inexperience while trying to design something that I will be happy with for a long time after I get more experience, I asked The opinion and advice of many willing pilots in our local chapter, Sonex and at EAA. I think those many opinions have contributed to my confusion and hesitation.
So at the risk of getting even more confused, I humbly ask for more advice from you and your group. I hope that the large volume of advice will settle into some kind of consensus with which I will be comfortable in the short and long term.
Bob, I did this from my phone so I’m not sure it will go to the group. If it doesn’t go to your group can you kindly forward it?
Thanks!
Peter
