Had to put a panel in place with the monitor running Project
Magenta. I LOVE IT!!!

Backside... I took a brand new flat panel monitor, tore it
apart... I must be nuts. Anyways.. I reconfigured the electronics
on a piece of plastic. Takes much less space and was able
to put the monitor right up against the panel.

EFIS and FCU bosed in plastic, top pieces are not glued and

Esperimenting with the lighted display on the FCU. I used
a clear label maker tape, printed black backrground, clear
letters. I'm thinking of isolating each msg with a LED to
light them.
