Input Needed
Hello - I'm starting to think about the layout of my panel. Will be VFR, day/night. I'm thinking one 10" and one 7" Dynon, but not married to any manufacturer at this point. Input greatly appreciated. Also, where are most people placing their main electrical bus in the 9A?

It would appear you are using a keyed ignition/start switch.
They are kinda bulky----so be sure you leave adequate room around the body of the switch.
Your breaker grid might need more room for vertical spacing, due to size/shape of the breaker body.
Xpnder?

Thanks
Hey Mike thanks for the heads-up.
I was thinking of the Dynon transponder module. I believe it interfaces thru the EFIS?

What I would do:
- Move the airspeed and altimeter steam gauges to above the radio stack, side by side, airspeed on left.
- Move the left 10? SkyView display further to the left.
- Move the radio stack to the left, just on the right side of the left display.
- Add the SKyView knob module under the left display, or under the intercom module (the best money you will spend on the panel)
- Replace the 7? right display with anther 10? SkyView display, just to the right of the radio stack. Normal use for the right display tends to be engine monitoring and the map ?Scratch Pad?. This is the map that I use to look out for weather, get weather reports, look for TFRs etc. It is also big enough to be the primary display for the pilot, and makes flying in the right seat easy.
This is about what I have in the RV-10 (second panel integration) and it works well. If I changed anything, I?d leave out the altimeter (but keep the airspeed). I find I never use it. I do use the round airspeed for take off and landing.

The Dynon SkyView XPDR is a no brainer. Good price, does TIS on the primary display, and configuring for ADS-B out compliance is simple.
The transponder integrates seamlessly with the SkyView.

Kinda figured that, just checking to be sure.

If you're married to breakers (I'm not), wiring the hot 'buss' is a bigger project in a 2D array than a 1D array (line). And orders of magnitude more expensive than ATO fuses, but that's an individual choice.

Panel
Hi, I just did my panel with Dynon HDX and D6 for backup EFIS and Garmin 430 for legal IFR.
If you are VFR only I would not bother with any backup steam gauges. The HDX is all you need. You really don't need a second screen.
You might check out audio panels by PS Engineering. They have have some cool features and are not too expensive.

I would use VP-X. I did use the equivalent red box from Advanced Systems. These are power distribution and switching boxes that also provide circuit breaker functionality. I mounted it right behind the HDX screen on the subpanel. If necessary I can access it by removing the big screen.
