Panel Goodness...

Been distracted by wild fires in the area over the past several weeks. Had to evacuate once for a couple of days, fortunately we didn't have any damage but it came close. The heat here isn't helping 100 - 110. Makes it pretty uncomfortable in the shop.

Anyway, I received all of the remaining electronics for the panel this past week. Spent a day inventorying and recording serial numbers. Today I installed the rails in the panel and then installed all the goodies. I wanted to check fit and determine the amount of trimming needed on the panel mounting flanges. Looks like my measurements were spot on. I'll be cutting/trimming and fitting the panel this week and then off to powder coating.

So, I have (2) G3X 10" screens, the center stack has a GMC 507 Auto Pilot on the bottom, next a GNX 375 IFR navvigator, next a GTR 200 Comm Radio, topped by an GMA 245 Audio Panel. I have another Comm Radio remote mounted behind the baggage area.

Wiring all this begins in a week or so, after I get the panel mounted.
