The ultra flat black color works great in bright sunlight.

In order to install my larger panel the Hydraulic Brake handle had to be moved from the stick to my left side below the Throttle.

Originally the Vertical Card Compass was mounted on the instrument panel but there was a problem.  When the master switch was turned on, the variation was as much as 10°.  After moving it overhead and away from the electronics the problem was solved.
