Looks like it is going to be nice Christopher - I think a single GRT with a 430 underneath is a great combination!

Don't worry about "all the wires" - you deal with them one at a time, just like eating the elephant....

Chris, I, like Paul, believe you will find the 430 under the GRT to be a nice arrangement. I had my 430 under my Dynon on my original panel so I do have some data points to reference. I find my current configuration,


just like yours to be very ergonomic. You will not have to reach from left to right, right left as you will be pushing buttons on both units. Nice, nice arrangement....good choice

If you have any questions about eating the GRT/430 elephant , feel free to give me a shout. What Paul said..........one bite at a time.....
