I?d like your comments on my panel design before I order it pre-cut from affordable.
My 7 is VFR (because that?s all the CAA will allow us to fly here in UK/Europe) but I?m building in some IMC contingency for safety as many of my trips will be down to the Alps and the weather there can change in an instance.
My panel consists of the following;
Dual Horizon GRT (could be MGM Voyager but I?m still thinking that over)
Trio AP
Trio ALT Hold
Transponder GTX330
Comm; Garmin SL30
AvMap
AOA Pro
PS Engineering PM3000
Also on the panel is the following UK Mandatory Equipment;
Altimeter
ASI
Card Compass
Turn Bank
I have put Mag 1 (Slick) and Mag 2 (Pmag) on switches directly in front of the pilot and to the left of the GRT (again, UK mandatory is for one slick)
I have put the fuel pump switch next to the throttle.
The trim controls (aileron and elevator) are on the stick and I can put the flaps on here as well but I?m undecided on that one. I have put flap switch on the panel just below the mags switches and if I do put the flaps on the stick, I think I?ll also keep a switch on the panel.
Switches are on a switch panel.
I am thinking about putting the 12v aux supply somewhere other than on the panel, perhaps between pilot and co pilot seating.
Any comments, observations, ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
