yoke mount
You don’t need the vertical lines on your screen drawing, they are on this illustration to
show how they would be placed on your paper drawing. If you are happy with the
shape of the curve, you can erase your temporary circles.
Measuring the control yoke hole:
First let’s measure the diameter of the yoke hole with a caliper at 1.5”. Then measure
from the lower edge of the panel to the lower edge of the hole and find that it is 2.188”.
2.188 + ½ the yoke hole diameter (.75) is 2.938, the vertical coordinate of the hole.
Measure the left edge of the panel to the hole = 1.398. 1.398+ .75 = 2.148. You can
place a circle at this coordinate, but a better solution is to generate a 1.5” round hole
(you can even include the mount holes) with AvCAM and insert it at 2.148,2.938.
You can use the same technique to locate other holes. I do not recommend cutting
the panel mount holes, since they likely will not match another panel, and they are
quite difficult to measure accurately. What I normally do is match drill to the existing
panel.
