My last attempt at this was the better part of a year ago. Since then I've revised my plans a bit--ditched the throttle quadrant, and more to the point, decided I'm probably going with GRT instead of Dynon (there are a few extra features I like, and the availability of a 978 ADS-B Out system is a plus in my book).
I've gotten to two concepts lately--one with a GRT Mini built in, and one without (I could get a D3 and plop it up top for IFR).
These are still drafts. Nothing is yet set in stone.
I intend for the aircraft to eventually be IFR equipped and to get my rating in it.
This concept is for the eventual full panel--it's likely that I won't have everything all there initially ("fitted for but not with" as the saying goes). IFR GPS and possibly the RH screen may be just cutouts with blanking panels at first flight. But the RH screen will make it in first, as most of my likely right seaters will at least know what they're looking at and be useful with it.
Switches are assumed to be TL toggles unless noted in yellow. Dashed rectangle is width for dual-pole switch.
Switch placement may seem haphazard but there's a purpose--all my electrical system stuff is on the left. Engine and fuel is in the center. Lights and accessories on the bottom left. Reversionary stuff up top (I won't be using it unless something goes wrong).
I'm getting ready to hang the engine (again) and do cowl fitting so I have time on this. Fire away
And for those wondering--no red knob; it's an SDS EFI system.
