Instrument panel work: 2 hours

My brother Paul was in town and we took some time to work on the instrument panel. This involved temporarily fitting the forward fuselage structure for the instrument panel. We then used color prints of the Garmin avionics to work on a good layout for the panel. Squares of blue tape were used to represent switch positions.

It was definitely nice to have another person to bounce ideas off of for the panel layout.

I'm very happy with the results. Now I can start putting the design into the front panel express software.

Initial panel layout with 10" G3X touch, 7" G3X touch and GTN 650:

Paul checking the ergonomics:

I believe the seats from Classic Aero will be slightly more comfortable.

Panel setup with room for 16 switches:
