Default AHARS mount

Van's sells a nice AHARS mount that rivets on the belly skin and fuselage structure near the auto pilot pitch servo.

I mounted my AHRS forward of the subpanel on a constructed shelf. This enabled me to to do the following: Keep the wire harness length to a minimum, easy access through the access panels I made in the top forward skin, and easy plumbing for pitot & static hoses.

Default GRT AHRS

I also mounted my GRT AHRS forward of the panel, in the front left hand side, on a removeable panel. I have a RV7a slider, and can remove it from under the panel.
