Default Grips
Ivan,

Our projects are at about the same place however I have not yet installed the sticks and grips. I was planning on the harness being inside the stick. Was there a problem or just personal preference.

Pat

Default Stick grips
I am away on vacation at the moment so I can't give an exact measurement on how much I cut off the Vans stick. I am going to say that it is in the 3-4" area but the instructions from infinity will give you the exact value.

In so far as keeping the wiring on the outside of the stick I didn't like having to cut/drill a rather large hole up inside in the top of the stick to feed the 15 conductor wire down through the inside, seemed to me to be a difficult corner to make. Besides I plan to make up a leather sleeve to go over the stick so the wire will be hidden anyway.

Default Fired up the panel
Here's my Avidyne PFD and MFD up and running and talking to the GNS430. Looks like we're flying in Kansas . . .



Sorry about poor lighting in this shot with camera phone . . .

Default panel
I powered up my Panel today, no smoke and everything appeared to work as planned. The panel was built by the great folks at SteinAir. Those guys do a great job helping plan, build and install your panel. Hopefully the links below work as this is my first attempt to post pictures.

Is that dual Odysseys and a V10? I'm thinking along similar lines. Who did your quadrant console, I like the looks of that.

Yup, that's a pair of new G2 Odysseys. The console is just built up from 1/4 inch plywood. The recessed EFIS trays are Wearever aluminum cake pans.


The panel is actually in "modules", with each section and the console on CPC plugs so you can just unplug & unscrew each section. Takes about 5 minutes to pull the console. Theres a drop panel in the console face with heater/brake cables. That way you can pull the console without unrigging the push pull cables.

I imagine that's the first time a cake pan has been used in an RV-10... Out of curiosity, why the recessed EFISs?
