some panels

[flatlandpilot]

baro panel milled:

font: Futura Md BT 15 points (4 mm.)
I started above the panel and dropped down 0.1 mm. a few times.
30 degr bit diam .25 overstep 50%
after it I brushed it real gentle with a soft toothbrush.

I start to like the OC switches, but you can see light leaking on the left and right
side of the buttons, a bit of black paint will be enough to tackle that.

That looks great! Did you use an endmill? I have the issue with the light leakage too, so I put a small, tight-fitting felt skirt on the buttons to block the light. Have you built any annunciators or korries yet? I started experimenting with landing gear indicators Saturday and I am very encouraged by my reults. I should have something to post later in the week. So many aspects of cockpit building to deal with!!

no endmill, everything with a 3 mm. bit,
I made the holes for the switches square by hand.

Can I take that back ?
Now I know that when you use 2 panel layers that paint
easy wants to suck in between the acryl.

Now I use black kit that doesn't walk capilair
