You^^re arriving at MYF after dark and after the tower closes.  An
asterisk after the CT frequency indicates that there is pilot controlled
lighting (PCL).  Without an operating radio to turn on the runway lights,
would you still be able to land there?

Scenario
--------

What should have been a routine flight gets an unexpected twist: Tower
clears you to land on a runway you dont feel is safe but wont clear you to
land on one that looks much better. Will you go with the clearance, insist
on your preference, or make an impromptu change at night and in busy
airspace?

I know a lot of folks have dealt with replacing an instrument panel, ..
anyone with a recommendation for a shop that can cut a new panel for our
PA32?

	Thanks!

Chris Clarke at H20 Machine and Fabrication in Fenton made the panel for 
our RV-10 glass upgrade two years ago. We gave him a CAD file and it 
came back perfect. His dad is a member of EAA 32 and says Chris had done 
a large number of instrument panels for various aircraft.

He first cut the holes in an .060 aluminum panel with a CNC water jet 
and put a stiffening bend. We test fitted it, countersunk the screw 
holes, then sent it back to be anodized. We went with black but there 
are different colors of anodizing.

He said he could etch placard information into the aluminum. We didn't 
go with that option but it would look a little more professional.
