I've been working on this for quite a while now with the guys at Stein Air. I have to say that they are very knowledgeable, helpful, and above all patient!
I attended the Avionics Installation for Experimental Aircraft class last week at AEA HQ in Lee's Summit, MO which really helped solidify my equipment choices and also helped with some of the panel layout decisions. A huge shout out to the the instructor, Levi Self, owner of Midwest Avionics. It was an excellent class & he brought a tremendous amount of experience to the classroom
Please let me know if you see anything you'd suggest changing. I'm especially interested in suggestions on switches & breakers - inclusion, exclusion, placement, labeling, etc.
Please don't waste any electrons telling me I should have gone with a different vendor for any of the avionics. I understand that the choices I've made are likely not the least expensive ones available. I work in the enterprise software business & have a hard-earned appreciation for how difficult, expensive, and frustrating it can be to make systems from different vendors work well together. I get plenty of that at work, and don't want more in my flying.
Thanks in advance for any & all constructive feedback.
