Plastic Case drilling with 3D printed Holder and Jet 830 w/ Buildbotics CNC Controller.
I (Matronics) build a speed controller for Experimental aircraft trim called The Governor MK III. (See www.matronics.com/Governor ). It uses a small plastic case to house the electronics. This case requires 3ea .25" holes for the wires and adjustment potentiometer. Historically I've just marked the holes with a Sharpie and drilled them on a drill press by hand, which was a lot of work.
Now, I'm using Solidworks to design a 3D printed holding fixture to capture the plastic boxes securely and then used Solidworks CAM to generate the CNC .nc file to do the drilling on my Jet830 milling machine converted to CNC using a Buildbotics Controller. The fixture is printed on a Makerbot Replicator 3D...

    Beautiful job! When you make the flight to OSH, may I suggest that you look into the I-80 route from SLC to Cheyenne? It’s a straight road, lots of landing options, and you can do it at 9,500-11,500 feet. On the chart, it looks like the terrain is high, but over the road, it’s really not.

      390 cui 4-cylendar is a brute that wants to shake apart. My RV-8 is push-button start, but it does shake a bit. If I get the priming just right, it will start a idle pretty smoothly. This was the very first engine start, so I didn't really have the techgnique dialed in just yet.

We take off with a notch of flaps. So pretty much the only time the flaps are up is in flight or when tied down on windy days. It took me a while to get used to it per my CFI’s instructions.

      It's not that out of line for a cockpit with limited real estate - especially if he intends IFR. With dual AHRS and a backup battery one is likely completely independent in the event of electrical failure. Keep in mind that in flight at least 3 would be required for primary flight, engine monitoring, and map/nav/comm.
