I have been working on my panel design in Fusion360 and one thing I don't see a lot is anyone leaving a gap between units in the radio stack. Is there a reason other than the preference for just one large hole for a true "stack"? Hopefully this isn't a silly question. I was thinking that would also allow for some heat dissipation.
Each unit of course has a different size for the recommended cutout, so my thought was to just leave perhaps 1/4" between each unit. It is all Garmin G3X, Autopilot controller, GTR200, GNX375, and a GMA345 audio panel. I have attached a rough idea of what I am thinking... Still working on it.
One thing that I noticed is that I did not really size this including the bezel so I will have to increase some of the dimensions for planning purposes, but the question is still the same.
