Better is the enemy of good enough

or "Dont over egg the custard". 

Work out what is a sound and tidy level of workmanship and dont try to make things perfect. It inevitably winds up making the finished job worse as well as being scandalously time consuming. Same applies to gimmicky accessories that serve no practical purpose.

I was soundly counseled by a RAAF  test pilot and gifted natural on the topic of instrumentation to "get you out of inadvertent IFR".   "Even thinking about that could get you killed" He said "The best piece of IFR equipment for a sport pilot / plane combo is a tent !"
