Best resources to learn how to modify aircraft

[PaulFWatts 100]

After being helped numerous times by Bert Pieke (thanks again for your time and patience Bert) and enjoying the excellent aircraft mods by many AVSIM members I would like to learn how to do this for myself. I'm sure many others would be interested also.

 

Things I would like to do include:

 

1. Everything necessary to modify panels for the Flight1 GTN 750/650 and the Milvix/Rex Weather Radar

2. Use gauges from other aircraft

3. Modify aircraft performance

4. Change panel layouts

5. Everything related to modifying aircraft :-)

 

I'm interested in:

 

1. Best tools to use

2. Best sites/forums to follow

3. Best guides, articles, books etc

 

Thanks in advance for all who contribute to this thread.

 

Once I master this would like to give back to the community as many others have done.

 

Kind regards
