Dear Rebels, happy new year to all of you.

My problem of today is: What is the best way to shock mount the flight
instruments in the instrument panel.

Side story:
After having chucked the first collapsed panel because it was to
weak, I also trashed the second one, this time reinforced with
lots of doublers, after discovering that the height is not enough
for gyros. I'm now going to build my own design with a
frame out of 1"x1"x1/8" angles.

But I still have to shock mount the group of six flight
instruments including the gyros. What kind of mounts and how
many of them did you use?

Happy building/flying, Stefan
