I recently upgraded the panel on our 5 year old RV7a with 920 hours on it and wanted to share a picture of the "new" panel. I upgraded the GRT WS EFIS to the GRT HX EFIS and the UMA altimeter with a Winter Instruments altimeter.
The upgrade process went smoothly with the WS EFISs shipped off to GRT on the Monday after Thanksgiving and the upgraded HX units arriving a week later with the settings from my WS units installed. I did have to remove the modular panel and expand the cutout for the EFIS a half inch vertically. Here is a picture of the left side of the panel.
So our "old" RV has a updated panel that we are excited about and looking forward to many more years of flying around the country with this fine machine.
As I went to post this update, I realized that N967BT never had a virtual hangar post so decided to start one with this panel update and add a few more air to air pictures later.
