Dynon 10" Your help needed for installation
RV9A. Starting my panel. I have a Dynon 10" with a ICOM 210 Comm. Did you use the standard panel from VANS or did you order the larger panel which extends down lower for switches ? Did anybody use a hinge to swing down their panel on pilots side with the Dynon 10" mounted. Where did you mount the transponder? Engine monitor module? Where did you place a pass-thru hole or holes, for engine probe wires? Power strip for 12V? Ground strip ?
I have entered into the DYNON ZONE, All welcome to give me a idea or a picture. Much appreciated!
Thanks Guys.

I used the standard panel from Vans and had it CNC cut by Bill at UpNorth Aviation and couldn't be happier.
Dual 10" Dynons outboard, an Xcom and caution panel and a swag of push button switches. I'm yet to install the transponder and other ancillaries though so can't help you there.

I used the big one.
I put a couple of steam gauges below so I used the larger panel. If I had it to do again I think I would leave out the steam.

I used Vans standard panel. I wanted to keep it as simple as possible. I think I accomplished that. The Dynon transponder and engine monitor were mounted forward of the subpanel. The EMS on the right side of the subpanel and the transponder on one of the ribs placed thoughtfully to avoid rivet problems later on.

Standard panel for me
The oversized panel would conflict with my knees.
I put the EMS and ARINC on the left side subpanel. I also mounted the two Skyview backup batteries on that side.
I put in a few 3/4" snap bushings scattered around the subpanel and the ribs. I used almost all of them. I also installed nutplates on the lower flange of all the ribs and the subpanel, to make anchors for Adel clamps. Those came in very handy.
My blog posts for this were around January 2011.
The trig transponder went on the center rib, right side, forward of the subpanel. As mentioned, be sure to plan everything so that you'll have room to set rivets.

I used the Afordable Panels Panel with the switch sub-panel. Great setup.
Since I did a retrofit, the transponder is mounted to the sub-panel as is the battery, EMS module, and hub.
BTW, use platenuts or rivnuts. Do not bolt through the panel as you will have to remove those items at some time in the future.
Here are some pictures taken before I cleaned up all the wiring

Well I feel stupid. I am also approaching the instrument panel phase and didn't even know there was an extended panel from Vans. I further didn't fully realize until earlier today that the two upper fuse ribs F-745L/R (TipUp) attach to the instrument panel, thus potentially obstructing instruments placed there. I plan on using the 10" Dynon Skyview and now am a bit worried if it will fit.
I have XPanel and am playing around with layouts, including the Affordable Panel. So one question I have is, for the TipUp, is there any problem fitting the 10" Skyview with either Vans standard or extended panel, or with the Affordable Panel XL? In other words is there room to center the Dynon Skyview in front of the pilot, or must it be shifted some left or right to fit?

It will fit, it does take some moving of the ribs. Mine is the standard Van's panel and the Skyviews are centered to the sticks, well almost centered.
With the switches I used I had to keep the display's as high as possible which makes them have to be moved inboard slightly.

I wouldn't get too hung up about exactly centering the EFIS with the stick. You won't even think about it when you are flying.
