I'm almost finished with my wings & should be ordering my fuse soon. I'd like to see some photos of finished RV10 panels so I can start planning (drooling), in my mind what I want.

RV-10 Panel



Take a look. My panel isn't quite done yet. Big holes in middle is for a GRT Sport EFIS and the radio/transponder rack. Panel finish is a coating used for covering gun stocks. Very durable. Barbed wire pattern was selected just because it looked different. This is truly a "custom" panel.

First time to post an image, so I don't know if it came thru or not. Feedback please!

Finishing soon I hope.
 
looks good

The panels look good. Though I'm probably going to go more "conservative" (read that, cheap) using basic 6 & steam guages. I'm VFR only. The only, so to speak, extra I plan on is an auto pilot. But I've got lots of time to plan, think, & change my mind if I want. Keep the pictures coming, I may see one that reaches out & grabs my attention & change my mind.
Bill, your image turned out fine. I don't even know how to post images :eek: ,I have to let my kids do it for me, but hey, I can pretty well hold my own building airplanes & flying, they're not sure where to start. Except to ask me. :D

What? Someone else who is not installing glass in their -10?
:)

I've got my steam gauge -10 panel almost done. Total cost is around $16,000.

Electric gyros (Castleberry AI, Falcon DG), King Skymap IIIC color GPS, really complete 1.25 inch UMA engine instruments, Vans fuel gauges, Monroy ATD300 traffic alert, Sig intercom, GTX 327 transponder, SL 40 comm, Digiflight II autopilot, Narco encoder, PAI vert compass. I'm not going to spend more on the panel than the whole kit is worth. Day VFR also. I'll try to post a photo when I get the last gyro.

Deems, you did good and the panel looks great - but....One question though...why the clock? You've got a nice clock in the OP, another clock in the Dynon and yet another nice timer in the Transponder.....

Cheers,
Stein.

Wow Scott! That plane really turned out nice and a well deserved congratulations on the 1st flight. I know you've went through proverbial **** and backwith your wiring and doing all the avionics yourself....the end product looks spectacular though! Well Done :)
