No, I'm not gonna do it. But a friend of mine is considering it. He found a used Garmin G1000 EFIS system, and an initial session with a measuring tape suggests it is physically possible to mount the screens on an RV-8 panel. He's curious about the bulk of the other "black boxes," AHRS, etc. and whether everything could be fit into an RV-8.
Also, is a G1000/G900X display too large for an RV's "eye-to-panel" distance? I feel like it's a pretty large display for the relatively close confines of a tandem RV cockpit.
So has anybody out there actually done it in an RV-8? Thanks in advance for any input.
