Nice! It appears to be a little less than 3.5" and square, which is almost perfect for single glass instruments (HSI, attitude indicator, etc). I am reaching a point where I can make so many real gauges, I don't have room to fit my 15" monitor behind the instrument panel anymore. This might be a solution......I will still try to scrounge up an old radar though. I want it to look/be real...IOW, I want someone to be able to look right at the radar bezel and buttons, touch it and use it, and not be able to tell the difference between mine and a real one. :)
