I am planning the panel update project for the new-to-me RV-6A. The most expensive box in the plan is a GTX375 but the system will also include replacing the existing Trio EZ-pilot with a GMC507 and Garmin servos. The panel currently has dual G5s and a GNS430 (non-WAAS).
I have skimmed the manuals and will give them a more thorough read before diving into the work but was looking for a bit of advice on tools. What do I need? And more importantly what do I need that may not be obvious. I have a good electronics tool kit, including tools for DB-type connectors (crimping tool, pin extractor, ect.)
A bit of background on me. I am a retired Navy Electronics Technician (Submarine Navigation) and currently work as a Controls Engineer. By my reckoning that is just enough knowledge to be dangerous; so your actual experience with this kind of work will be very helpful.
Thanks!
