During the most recent Covid Lockdown, I towed my co-owned Libelle home and spent time I'd rather be flying doing repairs to the gelcoat, waxing it, isolating RF interference between instruments, and trying to fix issues with the home-built trailer it came with (of which there were many).
While I had it in the driveway I decided to sit in it and record a little video tour of the controls and instrument panel.
This Libelle is 52 years old, built during the "Summer of Love" in 1969, so is one of the lower serial numbers. It's a "paper" 201-B, with the updated manual and placards to take into account things like ballast. At least, It think it is!
If you look at pretty much any Libelle at this point you will find quite a variety of panel layouts and instruments.
I think if we were to redo the panel, we'd consider installing something based on OpenVario (https://www.openvario.org/doku.php)
