Electric trim control panel
Here is a photo of the cutouts for the electric trim switch and L.E.D. indicator.
This is the custom panel that Steve made on a CNC machine. As you can see, it covers the factory drilled holes and slot.
First I clecoed it to the panel through the holes for the L.E.D. indicator.
Cutting the square holes is next. I did this by drilling a bunch of holes from the backside. Then I used an razor blade to slice through the holes. To clean it all up, I used a 1" wide file.
Switch and indicator mounted...
..and the labels are installed.
Here's what it looks like installed in the plane.
