Hi Bob,

Yup, I moved the LH F645 over about 2 inches. No problem. Cut it off at the sub panel and move it. I used a short piece of .063 angle to attach it back to the sub panel. The deeper panel works well, it's only 1" deeper and shouldn't impact leg room. I had it done by Ross at Experimantal Air and he seemed to do a good job. It took a while, but the instrument cutouts are generally very good.

Hi Paul,

Nice panel!!!

I notice the stuff on the center floor. Are these fuel filters? Can you explain your fuel setup and show a more detailed picture?

I am working now on the electric fuel pump installation.

Thanks,

Carl Nank

Carl,

Paul's fuel setup is for the Eggenfellner H6 Subaru. Those are the main and aux fuel pumps as they are to be installed per the manual.

I'm sure Paul can elaborate a bit more, and with more pics, but that's a quick answer for ya!

Unless I miss my guess, those are the two fuel pumps for an Eggenfellner Subaru installation. The heater core at the front gives it away.

Ron:

A humble suggestion: Do away with the PAV thingy and save yourself a grunch of cash. Use an MP3 player instead. No bundle of CD's to lug around, bounce around during rolls, melt in the greenhouse or have stolen. You can have your complete music collection on 1 small player. You can wire a remote plug into the back of the PMA-8000B or use the front face plug. At the speeds these things fly, you will be in and out of AM and FM ranges quite freguently.

Go satelite radio or MP3.

$200 can get you a multi Gb flash memory player.

Are those Dynon or GRT displays? If GRT, you can wire your trims into an aux channel and remove the trim indicator from your panel.

Thanks Jekyll, I just put that in there 'cause it was in epanelbuilder. I will probably go with a standard car radio/CD/XM radio such as Alpine. Looking at Dynon right now, but open to other displays.

I have a separate XM tuner connected to the car stereo in my boat and wanted XM for my RV-8A too. Great for boating on those remote lakes. I purchased an ALPINE CDA-9820XM XM/CD stereo receiver from Crutchfield's for $250. Don't know of any other car stereo with the XM tuner built in. The TerkXMicro2 XM antenna is a $30 extra but it's VERY small. I should be able to mount it on my "dash" without any problems. I will have the Alpine connected into my Sigtronics Sport200S stereo intercom. The Alpine CDA-9820XM unit was discontinued by Alpine and Crutchfield seems to be the only place left to get one new. You need to but an additional adapter (another $30) to connect the Alpine to your Ipod. I have a promo code to get you $20 off the Alpine if anyone's interested.
Just after the proposed merger between XM and Sirius was announced, I received notice from XM that all the current tuners will continue to work if the merger is approved. Hope so!

Al, great minds are thinking alike! I can use the promo code if you want to PM me. I was looking at the same thing at Crutchfield.
Thanks.

Ok, so it isn't an RV7, but it is a low wing, 2 seater

... I'm in the middle of an upgrade from a breaker, switch type layout to a Vertical Power layout (www.verticalpower.com). My before and after panel (was just about ready to wire the before, before I changed) are at legacyair.blogspot.com. Check it out if you like.
