High Quality Power Panel?
I like having a panel on my box, but I am sick and tired of cheap garbage. My current panel has some nice things, like a charger for the ni-starter and a switch for a fuel pump. Actually, it came with a fuel pump, but that was garbage. I have replaced the pump but still use the switch. I fly alot of glow.
My complaints are 1) the back side of the panel is unprotected. The panel is in a plastic tool box and the 12V wiring is a little exposed. 2) The panel is just cheezy . Fuel has erased all the markings, like ON-OFF switches and the ignitor charger is falling off.
I looked at Tower and Hobbico. They are not what I want. Does anyone make a GOOD quality panel?

High Quality Power Panel?
Thanks Galen. I'm sort of looking at that one, the Cermark, and also at the Sig Power Panel .
I do NOT like the specialized voltmeter socket on the SIG. That would mean one set of leads for charging and another for checking. Or at least an adapter.
I would also like to see the BACK of each of these. Is it covered/uncovered or shielded in some way. Maybe I'm picky.
