I am thinking about adding the new Dynon Knob Control head and AP Control head to my RV-12's SV panel. Ideally, I would like to mount them side-by-side / horizontally just above the Garmin SL-40 transceiver. Unfortunately, it looks like the distance between the center instrument panel's two vertical supports is a tad too tight to accept the side-by-side control heads without extensive cutting. Has anyone out there successfully installed these two heads in this very tight horizontal configuration?
Alternatively, I could mount the heads side-by-side in a vertical orientation above the SL-40, but even that is a bit tight vertically. Another orientation would be to mount them in a horizontally stacked configuration above the SL-40. How are they mounted in Van's S-LSAs?
The Dynon Glastar demonstrator plane mounts the Knob Control head just below the throttle quadrant. I see that location as being somewhat easier to install (thumb drive receptacle in the way), but less desirable than a panel install.
I would welcome any ideas!
