Here is a picture of the complete new RV10-310 carbon fiber panel design and Center armrest with Throttle quadrant from Aerosport Products. This will hold
3 10" screens from any manufacture. We will offer throttle quadrant and vernier
controls. More options coming soon

These panels are all pretty, but mounting a GTN that low is not consistent with the IFR TSO requirements, unless the PFD is capable of displaying all the annunciations.

I believe that most EFIS are capable of displaying the proper annunciation, although I haven't verified that beyond what I've installed in my aircraft.

With that said, it is the aircraft builder's decision on where to locate the GTN device. Placing it on the center panel should meet the requirements if there was no external annunciation.

The lower console is a good place for ancillary devices list a COMM 2, Transponder, Audio Panel, etc. Although these days, most of those can be remote driven from the EFIS making the physical location moot.

Default Great timing

Ed - nice panel. What I missed in the fancy electrons of the OP was the fact that this is a new panel from Aerosport.

I'm still probably a year away from buying one, but I've already been thinking along the lines of Greg Hale and making my own...until now. Love the lines of the center console and new throttle quadrant option - can I assume there will be options for the other 10" EFIS panels (non-symmetrical)?

This just made the top of my list for previewing at Oshkosh!

No need to worry. The G3X does display all the GTN annunciations on the PFD HSI via the ARINC connection, verified with G3Xpert.

It's a long shot... still a lot of work to do before I'm ready to fly, but if the stars align, I might make it to OSH this year...

moot.
Bob, I respefully disagree. If you fly IFR your operating limitations require you to follow the FAR equipment rules. The installation manuals are part of the TSOs for ifr gps boxes, and they specify how far away from the main field of view (usually the AI) the annunciation may be. The ones shown look too low.

I have never heard of the FAA attemting to enforce this. But you don't want to be the first, either.
