I'm looking ahead to where I'll mount things in my -8.
The question I have is how much can go under the seats instead of behind the panel and how is that best done?
In the panel:
GNX-375 (GPS/Xpdr)
GNC-255 (Comm/Nav/Intercom)
G3X touch screen (prob 10", maybe 7"), for engine/charts/EFIS
G5
Autopilot panel (maybe skip haven't decided)
The usual switches
Remote:
GEA-24 (instrument sub-panel)
GAD-27 (??? under the seats)
GSU-25 (??? under the seats, next to battery?, still have to run tubing to G5)
GMU-11 (probably on the right wing tip)
GAD-29 (why do we need this these days for one GPS input)
If wanted: second remote radio and audio panel (??? under the seats)
B&C backup alternator controller (instrument sub-panel)
Considerations:
Only one radio, and use headset bluetooth for radio/phone/etc
Maybe skip autopilot panel as no yaw director needed
Keeps number of remote items low
If second radio will get GTR-20 but then need audio panel
