727 Instrument Panel Work
The second 4" Collins bezel arrived today for the ADI. It still looks squashed, but I think I'm going to take a screen shot of the ADI, print it out and cut out the top of the ADI frame and glue it to the top of the monitor frame underneath the bezel. The ball will be all the way to the edge of the screen and the frame will be on the monitor edge.

I also had to do something about the 4" airspeed indicator hole. I changed it to a 3.5" instrument hole so the instrument would be centered in the cutout.
Now I need to make the bezel for it. This hides the monitor frame on the top and left of the instrument.

And finally, I finished up the altimeter bezel. The altimeter also suffers from being at the top of the screen and is not quite big enough for the bezel. I may do the same with the altimeter as I'm going to do with the ADI. Except that I'll loose the needle at the top of the gauge.

Compromise...I hate it, but it's a neccesary evil with this MIP.
