Default G3X Touch Panel

I thought I'd share some pics of my finished panel since I borrowed many ideas from panels posted on the forums here. The total project took just under six months and about 400 hours. I rewired the entire airplane, and did a bunch of other, "while we're in here..." maintenance items/upgrades at the same time.

I've put 50hr on the new avionics in the last month and couldn't be more pleased! The support from Garmin has been exceptional, and I consider Bob Nuckolls - AeroElectric Connection a must for anyone who is considering wiring a plane.

Here's before:


And After:












Landing Gear breaker nut has been replaced with a black anodized one, and straightened.

One more from a different angle.


Now the panel is making the rest of the interior look bad!

Dan,

I design panels every day here at SteinAir and I must say your panel is beautiful. The graphics are great, too. Now go fly!

Default Wow..

I'm not a fan of blue interior but seeing this has me questioning my preferences. Beautiful and functional!

I typically see about 7A, but the GAP26 pitot tube pulls 12A at -40F.
