For the last two months I have been designing my avionics.
\nI have most of my wiring planned by now, and except for a few orders, I also have all my hardware.<\/p>\n

Today I finally did a bit off work on the aircraft again.
\nMy panel layout will be like this. There is still lot of space for future expensions.. \ud83d\ude09
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Luckily I have a quite large stock of circuit breakers from salvaged aircraft.
\nHere’s the cb’s that will go into my instrument panel.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I marked their location..
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…drilled the holes and installed them.
\n\"\"
\nThen I selected the spot for my G3X monitor.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With the location selected and marked, I could start fitting my instrument panel support rib removed almost 6 years ago.. \ud83d\ude00

\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is very important to support the instrument panel well, to avoid vibration. Especially as I am installing my ADAHRS on the rear of the G3X monitor.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I needed to create an angle bracket, to attach the support rib to the subpanel.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This should support the panel sufficient.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next on the list was cutting the hole for the G3X.

Next will be the backup instruments, then the switches…<\/p>\n
