21/07/2023 - cutting Dynon intercom module hole in panel - 4h30

I continued cutting out Dynon modules from the instrument panel. When doing so, be carefull as the intercom does have another shape than the other modules.

I drew and cutout the rectangular intercom shape as last one of the modules. I try to make them sit as close as possible together .

Here is the result when sliding them into the holes. I'm still missing the radio SV-COM-833 panel which I will get pretty soon.

Smoothed and sanded the edges. This is now ready for drilling the screw attach holes.

Close up view with analog engines installed as well.  As last I also installed the elevator trim button on the panel. I will have them both on stick and on the panel.

This is the back view of the elevator button. I made a mistake when drilling the two corner holes and made them too low. Fortunatly I could identify the error soon enough before cutting away more material. I installed 2 AD3 flush rivets which solves the problem. Drilled the hole for the screws. You can see the small error in the picture below. The front plate of the button covers the rivet heads completly.
