Garmin G3X components

Hey Guys, I'm trying to figure out how to fit all of the Garmin components behind the RV8 panel. Any pics would be appreciated. Thanks

GAD 27

No GAD27 and I’m waiting on the transponder which goes were the red circle is. The GMA45R is on the underside where the red circle is.

Plenty of room.

I’m making my center section removable.

Not a big fan of mounting avionics with connectors pointing up.
A potential collecting point for FOD and moisture.

A shelf can be built between F802N and F802T to mount your boxes. The G3X only has a couple connectors, so when you pull that out you have easy access to anything on the shelf.

Good point on connectors. Easy to rotate 90 degrees.
And you just gave me something else I just added to my to do list tomorrow.

Thanks for the pointer.

Aerotronics arrangement; fwd baggage components

Here are two photos of my Aerotronics panel and the way I mounted my GTX45R remote transponder and GEA24 EIS converter in the front baggage area. If you're doing your own panel, definitely make the entire section easily removable if you can. That's one specification I should have given Aerotronics and avoided the circuit breaker and ignition locations they set up. Great for flying; not so great for maintenance.

A couple of things to keep in mind:
1) everything will need to be removed at some point, how hard will that be?
2) can you get to all the LRU connectors easily to add wires or correct mis-pins?
3) can the screens/other items be easily removed for access (will the screen come out on the Aerotronics panel above)?
4) can a P-S check be done easily? (every 2 years).
5) always consider future maintenance/panel updates for the future.
