I'm planning on 3.5" center-to-center spacing in 0.063 sheet (it's for a 235 so I'm trying to cram it all in). Is this too close? o What type of structure have you used behind the panel to provide it structure and tie it to the airframe? I'm envisioning 3/4" Al angle around all of the outside edges tied to the central radio stack. Any pictures of an aluminum panel taken from the front (header tank side) would be very helpful. Thanks for the help! Scott Richardson LNC235/290 ______________________________________________________ Scott Richardson mailto:scott_m_richardson@yahoo.com
