N340XL Instrument Panel
I used 3/8" blue foam covered w/ bid on each side to fabricate the these interior panels. They provide for a baggage area while covering the gear mechanism and other system components. Once upholstered & soundproofed, they will be held in place by velcro for easy removal in flight if necessary.
These perimeter tabs, along w/ the 3' wide aluminum bracket in front of the sump tank, are used to mount the aft interior panels.
