My buddy and I are upgrading our panels at the same time, but he's a little ahead of me so his panel (RV-7A) got cut first. Everything came out very well and we're both happy with the result. I used a CNC machine (Haas VF-4) to do all the holes and cutouts, and if I had it to do over I'd have used the VF-5 because it has a bit more "real estate" available on the table. Won't be a factor for my little RV-8A panel, though. And speaking of that, I have the bare panel from Van's and have almost completed my CAD model. I think everything is where I want it and minus a handful of circuit breakers and a few switches, I think it's done. If anyone has thoughts or opinions on component placement (or any other issues) I'd appreciate your feedback.
