A generous amount of panel space would be good.

IMO the minimum is space for 8 instruments (compass, T&B or AH, 2
varios, ASI, altimeter, radio, transponder or FLARM) and at least two
instruments will need to be 80 mm. It should also be possible to mount a
GPS or PDA without obscuring anything. This should work in nicely with a
roomy, comfortable cockpit if the panel is a Discus/ASW-20 style rather
than the DG/LS pedestal arrangement.
