How did you make the carbon-fiberglass panels?  You should post a photo on the website.

You are right - the plastic panels are junk.  I just replaced all the interior plastic panels in my 1974 206 with fiberglass panels made by Slekirk Aviation in Coeur d'Alene Idaho.  They are very stout and attractive.  I also replaced all exterior plastic fairings with fiberglass ones made by Stene Aviation.  Superior retrofit!

I own and operate a Cessna 172 (N) here in England and I would like to renew my interior panels.
Can anyone tell me how I can contact Selkirk or Stene Aviation and do they make panels for the 172.

Halcomp Inc. in Toronto is ready for production of carbon-fiberglass interior panels for C-150. Now company finished all molds for panels and in December will start production line. My Cessna with carbon-fiberglass panel looking nice, the pictures will post on web site of Halcomp probably next week. Same options: carbon-fiberglass panels can be covered by upholsterer textile, textile makes about 0.5lb heavier of panel. All information will be available on web side next week, what I know; the prices of panels are same like plastic panels, time of delivery one week. Phone number for Halcomp is (416) 663 4113.

I just installed a new panel in my '60 172A. You probably won't use the same size or same placement as the original, so nobody would make a standard cover panel. I made my new panel of 2024 aluminum and bought a paint to match my color preference. In my case I used a can of spray paint with the effects of hammered copper. It's very sharp! I used brass acorn nuts to hide the shock mount posts. I can send pix if you'd like.

Where is the best place to purchase interior panels for a 1978 Cessna 152?

What would a ballpark price be to convert a 1974 172m dash, to the modern metal dash /std. 6 pack configuration and with metal switches and std. modern radio stack configuration? Is an STC required? thanks, David
