During the past month, I have been spending a lot of time planning my avionic installation.
\nI have decided to install a Garmin G3X, with remote mounted com radio and transponder.
\nI will also install 2 axis autopilot, and engine monitoring.
\nI will add a backup battery for the essentials like the EFIS screen, engine montoring and ADAHRS (Air Data, Attitude & Heading Reference System)
\nBesides that, I will install backup compass, airspeed indicater & altimeter.<\/p>\n

The G3X is a touchscreen EFIS system, everything is controlled through that screen, also COM radio, Transponder & Autopilot.
\nThe result will be a VERY clean cockpit. \ud83d\ude09
\n\"\"<\/a>I have received most of the Garmin parts, however, there is a long lead time on the screen itself.
\nUntil it arrives, I am carefully planning component location and cable routing.<\/p>\n

I’m drawing detailed wiring diagrams for the avionic and power distribution. For that, I am using a vector drawing program called InkScape. It’s free, and works like a dream.<\/p>\n

I have also spend a little time on the aircraft as well, like install the starter cable.

I also created the prop governor cable bracket. First I made a template..
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I traced that template to a piece of .080″ alclad sheet.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The extra material is for reinforcement flange and cable attach flange.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After bending the flanges.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After trimming the flanges a bit, I drilled the attachement holes and installed the bracket.
\nIt still needs primer and paint, and maybe I will add some lightening holes also.
