REFLECTOR: Engine Controls in Instrument Panel

[Don Johnston]

I created a small sub-panel that is permanently attached to the fuselage.
It has a flange that the rest of the panel attaches to.

Hi,

I am putting together the instrument panel plan and there is something that
I'm not sure what
to do with. The engine/prop control levers, are basically cable handles
with the large
part of the handle on the front side of the panel. That means that I can't
run the engine
controls until I finally install the panel. Without cutting a small slit in
the instrument
panel for the cables to slide through, or making a separate mounting panel
that
matches up to the instrument panel that is separate, I don't know how this
would work.

If I don't do one of these two variations, if I ever want to pull the panel
out, I would
have to pull then engine control cables out first.

How have others dealt with this issue?
