Last week I picked up my QuickPanel from Advanced Flight Systems... I was very impressed with the quality and layout. What is most astounding, is the simplicity of the install. As you see here, we preinstalled all the components to the sub-panel to make sure that everything fit ok, connected all the wiring, and made sure that we would have easy access to them should we need to get back in there. But more so, once we are ready for the final install, everything would be ready to go - just slap it in and it's done. Fini.
What I want to point out is that it only took a day and a half to lay it out, mount everything and have it ready for install. The QuickPanel saved us an incredible amount of time, and not so much with the physical aspect of building harnesses and such, but in testing and marrying all the components together. It's all fun and games until something doesn't work. AFS makes sure that all the testing and functionality of the systems is done before it leaves the shop. I know that for fact, I was there breathing down Rob and Jeff's necks whatching them test everything.
We still have a lot of work to do, but the QuickPanel sure saved us tons of time. And, as you all know, there's horror stories out there of "stuff" not working the way it should, builders spending months trouble shooting. I know of some builds first hand, and that's why I turned to Rob. And I must say that Rob's been so prompt with any of the hundreds of questions I've had, I thought I was his only customer. Obviously, I not...
