Panel

Post by jim_geo »

I thought there was a thread with a bunch of panels somewhere but couldn't find it. Anyway after many hours spent during the last week trying to figure out exactly where the radio was going I think I've worked my panel out.

Very similar to what I'm thinking as far as what will be in my panel. I have a different layout in mind, but I am planning a D180/295/two radio stack.

What is the space below the Dynon being left bare for?

Well Chad at the time I was leaving the space below the Dynon bare for switches. In reality I am going to be putting an airspeed indicator and my glide slope under there. In order for the radio and transponder to fit right they have to be raised (for the sub panel alignment) up about an inch and a half leaving room for switches there. The cluster of instruments on the right are 4 in one egt and cht of course then manifold pressure, oil pressure, oil temp, fuel pressure and two fuel level. If I use a magnetic compass it will be mounted to the upper far right hand panel. My goal originally was to have all steam gauges.
