Van’s RV-14 Instrument Panels

With countless RV-14 instrument panel designs completed over the years,
SteinAir has the experience to help bring your panel from concept to completion.
Whether you have a clear vision or are just getting started, we’ll work with you
through every step of the design and build process.

Our Panel Build Process

Equipment Selection

1. Select the avionics, systems, and accessories that best fit your mission, budget, and goals.

Panel Design

1. We’ll work with you to design your panel layout.
2. PDF revisions will be provided throughout the design process until a final layout is approved.

Metal Fabrication, Paint & Engraving

1. Your panel is CNC machined and all required metal fabrication is completed, including rails, nutplates, rivets, and mounting hardware.
2. The panel is professionally painted by our local automotive paint partner.
3. Finally, the panel is laser engraved using the approved design.

Wiring

1. We create wiring schematics for all avionics, switches, and circuit protection associated with the instrument panel.
2. Custom wiring harnesses are built and all instrument interconnections are completed.
3. Flying leads are provided for systems such as heated pitot, lighting, servos, magnetometers, and other aircraft connections.
4. Every wire is labeled and color-coded to match the wiring documentation included with your panel.

Configuration & Bench Testing

1. The completed system is powered up and thoroughly tested on our bench before shipment.
2. We configure as much of the avionics system as possible. Final aircraft-specific settings and manufacturer-required configuration will be completed by the builder during installation.
3. After successful testing, we photograph the completed panel and assemble all documentation before carefully packaging it for shipment.

Final Invoice & Shipping

1. Once your panel is complete, we’ll prepare the final invoice for parts and labor.
2. Your panel is securely packaged in a custom-built crate and shipped fully insured via UPS 3-Day.
3. Track your shipment as it makes its way to your shop.
4. Open the crate, install your new panel, and enjoy the results!
