Default My 2 cents

I have really enjoyed working with Stein on our 10 panel. Mike Hilgar did a fantastic job for me. Just gave them the Ok to cut the panel out yesterday. Our panel is all Garmin. 2- G3X touch, GTN 750, GMC307 auto pilot, gam 240audio panel, dual ADHARS, GNC 255A NAV/COM and more. Aerosport symmetrical panel.

We did add a Guardian CO monitor model #353-201P that will display on the PFD. $349. It is a remote mount so as not to take up panel space. Like some said, keep the ELT close by....

We are also going with "vertical power" system also

My 2c...

1. If you want to use the co-pilot screen, you will want to "cant" it so you have a more direct view. In my case, it is a single piece of Al with 2 bends and a few nutplates. Made all the difference in the world using it as my MFD.

2. There are knobs on the left of the center console. Can't read the labels. However, personally, I would not want them there. I already want all the legroom i can get and there is possible interfere with your knees and your leg.

3. My ipad is mounted on the copilot windshield with a suction cup. On most any airplane, i can mount the ipad in that location, which is why i put it there for consistency.

4. A 750 would definitely be a very nice upgrade over the 650/tablet combo.

Perhaps you install three 10" Dynon's in the aerosport 310 panel. Imagine if there was an app that could "project"or mirror the ipad screen interactively via bluetooth, to include all gesture capabilities, ie pinch, move, point etc to a Dynon screen. That way the ipad could sit comfortably in the seat-back pouch wirelessly connected to the center 10" Dynon screen. In a perfect world your ipad could be accessed at the push of a button to any one of the three efis displays.

You want some foreflight info, push ipad data to the center screen. The wife wants to watch a movie or fumble through a text (or more realistically check out her facebook status) push ipad data to the far right screen. Angry birds at 10,000' on a dynon....hmmmm

Seems a bit far fetched, but all it takes is one person to come up with the app. Could be tomorrow, then your stuck with an ipad at your center console.

Side note...took the advice of previous poster to sit in my plane and pretend fly. My wife just walked into garage and laughed at me, then disappeared only to fetch my daughter to come out and laugh at me as well. Warmer in here anyway. Good night, good luck!
