Sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm starting to plan the refresh of my steam/G5/Aera Frankenpanel with a proper EFIS setup. From my unscientific research (looking at internet photos), it seems there are two ways people do panel upgrades:
I'm still at the stage of noodling with layout in a CAD program, so no rush... just curious.
- Take out the whole F-403 bulkhead, including the horizontal part with nutplates that the avionics cover attaches to, and build a new one
- Cut a big hole in your existing F-403 and screw your new improved panel over the top of it
