FIG.1 DRAW THE PANEL YOU WISH TO MAKE AS ACCURATELY AS YOU CAN ON A PIECE OF PAPER. (EFIS SHOWN IN THE EXAMPLE) MARK THE SWITCH POSITIONS TO CORRESPOND WITH THE POSITIONS OF THE ROTARY SWITCHES YOU INTEND TO USE. IN THIS CASE, IT'S EVERY 30 DEGREES. ENSURE THE CENTRE TO CENTRE DISTANCES ARE FAR ENOUGH APART TO ALLOW THE ROTARY SWITCHES TO FIT NEXT TO EACH OTHER ON THE PANEL.TAKE A DIGITAL PHOTO LIKE FIG.1 AND TRANSFER IT TO YOUR P.C.

FIG. 2 OPEN THE IMAGE IN MICROSOFT PAINT OR YOUR PREFERRED EDITING SOFTWARE, CROP TO THE SIZE OF THE PANEL. TRY TO ENSURE YOUR PHOTO IS SQUARE AND PARALLEL WITH THE IMAGE.

FIG. 3 COLOUR IN A SMALL SECTION NEAR A CORNER AND THEN PAINT A SMALL WHITE DOT. THIS WILL BE PAINTED OUT LATER. CUT AND PASTE THE DOT TO EVERY POSITION REQUIRED ON THE PANEL AND PAINT IN THE OTHER FEATURES REQUIRED.

FIG. 4 PAINT A SINGLE BLACK SQUARE AS PER THE ONE NEAR THE VOR2/ADF2 SWITCH POSITION, THEN COPY AND PASTE THE SQUARE INTO THE 7 BUTTON POSITIONS. PAINT OUT THE FIRST SQUARE TO REMOVE IT.

FIG. 5 FINALLY, ADD THE APPROPRIATE TEXT IN THE CORRECT POSITIONS. THESE BITMAPS LOOK VERY EFFECTIVE PRINTED ON GLOSSY STICKER PAPER AND STUCK TO 2MM CLEAR PLEXIGLASS. PRINT ON CLEAR OVERHEAD FILM AND LAY OVER WHITE PLASTIC SHEET FOR A REASONABLY GOOD BACKLIGHTING EFFECT.
