robert7467 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 Does anyone have the CAD files for a M20C instrument panel? I was thinking about using the old one as a template, but a drawing would be much better. Quote
Schinderhannes Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 I have a AutoCAD drawing for the panel of our 1970 M20C. If you are interested I can email you a copy of the file in .DWG or .PDF. Quote
DanM20C Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 I have a AutoCAD drawing for the panel of our 1970 M20C. If you are interested I can email you a copy of the file in .DWG or .PDF. N9495V, I would love a copy of that in .DWG. I'll send you a PM. Quote
robert7467 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Posted December 31, 2014 Enfield.family at gmail dot com thank you very much! I will post pics when I am done. Quote
HRM Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 I have a AutoCAD drawing for the panel of our 1970 M20C. If you are interested I can email you a copy of the file in .DWG or .PDF. Is the panel in your plane the same as a '66 E? The E has a fold horizontally down the middle. Most just flatten it out. I guess the more important question is whether or not what is behind the panel is the same. Some have reported issues with the control shaft, etc. Quote
robert7467 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Posted December 31, 2014 Yeah, I have that bend in the middle. From what I understand, making a flat panel work is pretty easy to do. Quote
DanM20C Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 N9495V sent me the panel drawing. It is an exact match for my '69 C. If I'm not mistaken, the '68 and older is a different panel. '69 and up had electric gear, electric flaps, and throttle quadrant. Quote
HRM Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 Yeah, I have that bend in the middle. From what I understand, making a flat panel work is pretty easy to do. Why hasn't anyone just reworked a bent panel? In my case, all of my instruments are in excellent shape, in fact, my CFII has commented on how rarely I have to adjust my DG. All I want to do is get rid of the huge vacuum gauge, which I don't even need since I have an MVP-50, and then reorder my current instruments into six-pack config. Well, I want to move my CDI over with the ILS on the pilots side as well. Quote
robert7467 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Posted December 31, 2014 The current panel is the "shotgun panel" the new one will be the standard 6 pack configuration. Quote
robert7467 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Posted December 31, 2014 http://mooneyspace.com/gallery/image/36284-mooney-panel/ Here is what she will look like. On the left side there will be plenty of breakers, switched, JPI etc..... Quote
bonal Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 Nice layout if I was going to open that much space on the right I would put in a jockey box. Quote
robert7467 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Posted December 31, 2014 Sorry, meant on the right side I still have alot going on with the switches, etc..... Its not a $100k avionics stack, but its a M20C so its not worth dumping a ton of cash into the panel. With this I will have a much more capable instrument platform and it will get rid of just about all the old sh%^ty wiring that has been a pain since I bought her. With my foreflight with stratus I think I will be in good shape. Quote
