Back into 181 Baker Built this week after giving some time over the last month or so to other secret squirrel Drag Bucket and Little Plane projects.
Time to orchestrate the panel upgrade after reviewing other's creative europan ideas and spending a solid week 3D modelling up all the flight instruments and moving stuff around to find the ideal position for it all. Some analogue, some glass, some mad professing about ergonomics, redundancy, aesthetics, and real estate preservation and reclamation with a strong emphasis upon the importance of knowing what time it is!
Now to buy the missing bits on the shopping list for this year's chrismakah present to self... should be pleasant once all done. Then the upholstery can be addressed!

Hi Area 51
Telling time is important! My wife teaches Honors High School Chemistry. It amazes me that some of her students can't tell time with analog hands!

It came with 1 incandescent bulb that did little to illuminate. Ended up making a G11 disc and mounted a bunch of small LEDs that matched our EL Aviation Blue. Balancing light was a bit tricky as the right side would hurt passengers eyes.

We too are going with a grayish theme for instrument module. The top and front edge going with a flat flat black.

Impressive CAD work and renderings A51.
First, I love my AV-30, you wont be disappointed. Same as you I wanted the round analog gauges look and I'm pleased to have done that.
The only thing I think I would consider if I were you is have an electronic engine monitor. I had all the round gauges as you show but switched to a single MGL EMS-1 and I am very happy with it. Super simple, accurate, uses a single small hole and it's very inexpensive. I have found analog engine gauges to sometimes not be the most accurate or reliable. I still have analog engine gages in my LongEZ and I have problems every so often.
Very nice work.
Chris

You can catch a glimpse of my AV-30 and EMS-1 in this picture (taken a couple of days ago).
