Nice uncluttered panel! I would like to do something similar for my VFR -6A.

Do you have any pictures that show the panel turned on? And is everything you need available on the primary display, or do you need to switch screens?

What are you using for a magnetic compass?

Thanks!
Paul.

A nice VFR Garmin panel, this is an RV8 I did but you get the idea.



Here's another but an RV7, if you're on a budget just make provisions for the RH screen and install it later if you feel like,
2nd com/G5 is also optional.

Thanks! Paul.
Most EFIS have an option for a magnetometer. Not sure about Australian rules, but in the U.S. the magnetic compass need not be independent from electrical power.

Default My RV7A G3X Touches 😁

This was after upgrading from non-Touch to Touch
I’ve since changed some of the items along the top data fields, but have not taken a picture of the current setup. I do have my non-Touch screens for sale in the classified. Would be real good way to get a G3X system started.
