First 3 tube G3X touch in an RV-7A
Hey guys,
New to the forum, but I thought you'd enjoy seeing the panel I put in my RV a few months ago. According to Garmin, it was the first 3 screen system outside of the factory, and its been a blast to fly. Let me know if you have any questions.

That's one crammed full panel!
That's one expensive backup solution!
That would be hard to do with a tipper!
Good thing you have short legs!
Very cool and shows that anything is possible with enough effort.

"Let me know if you have any questions."
Why?
Such a layout is typically required for real 2 crew operations in the airlines, chartered world (twin turbo props, etc.) and so on ... Do you have a need for your right seater to have everything identical to you? Do you typically fly with a significant other that is als a pilot maybe?
Just curious ... that's a lot of money and weight and complexity ... I'm wondering what leads you to choosing this setup.
Sure looks gorgeous though! Is that the mid-continent stand-by instrument also? So the G3X do not have dual ADAHARS/batrteries, etc?

That's pretty amazing! Creative solution on locating the A/P panel.

Pahan, welcome aboard the good ship VAF.
Nice looking panel
What is the small back up unit immediately to the right of the key switch?

It can have dual ADAHRS if you want (can install up to three) and the batteries are up to the builder.
None of which will protect you from a common mode failure so that is why it is still a good idea to install an independent backup solution with a different hardware/software base.
