Default GRT / Garmin

Just wanted to share the latest and LAST iteration of Nerdgasm's panel. I've been working on integrating a new Garmin GDU-375 for mapping / weather etc. As usual we had major weather in the area when I lit up the unit for the 1st time ... gotta love the midwest. No smoke .. seems to work!

DW,
What's the story on your annunciator panel?

Hi David,

Nice job....but....with 3 or 4 GPSes in it, you better not EVER get lost!

I am a wee bit curious as to the placement of the PFD so far off pilot's center field of vision?

Cheers,
Stein

Default Vision

Actually ... the vertical between the two Garmin and GRT is the exact center of my vision. So its not too far off. I couldn't stuff the HXs any closer with the Garmin in place. The original panel had the GRTs in the exact center.

Heck ... you can never have too many GPSs!

Default Annunciator

The annunciator is something I built with the original panel ... it's just moved around. They are NKK indicators and switches.
