So - I'm days away from my certification inspection and getting my docs and ducks in a row.
I finally have some part of the plane that looks ready to go!
Drawn, laid out, cut out, painted, labeled, and assembled right in the privacy of my own garage.

Dang Jerry that looks great. I've always liked the look of the GRT stuff but
I was pretty close to pulling the trigger on a dual display G3X upgrade. I now may take another look at the HXr.
I have one question, where did you hide the little EIS display?
Thanks
I am curious where you mounted the SkyRadar unit and if you used external antennas. I am going to be headed down a similar route so any info would be helpful.

Just about finished tweaking my new GRT HXr installation. I removed my GRT Sport and replaced with the 10.4" HXr. That involved removing the ARINC module, replacing the compass module with one matched to the new ADHRS I had to install, removing the encoder and installing the external GRT GPS.
Setup was standard GRT. Serial in's and out's and configuring the display for the parameters you want. All in all an easy process.
I kept the D10A and installed a D1 for attitude/heading redundancy. I have and SL30 for ILS/VOR's, a Garmin GNC300XL for GPS ops, a Trig 31 for transponder with ADSb out/in and a Skyradar to display the ADSb weather and traffic on the HXr.
Fernando: This is going to be a terrific enhancement to your RV-8! It really looks terrific!! Now, I think it is pretty much perfect!!
P.S. I'll be at Sun n Fun sometime on the 11th on through the morning of the 14th (April). Hope you'll be coming up!

I recognize that approach. Haven't done it in awhile since they changed the equipment serving Santiago. Miss going there!
The panel is looking great. Can't wait to light mine up- hopefully soon. I think the Testors kit is brilliant way to do the labels. What program did you use to create them before printing them out?
I've been flying with steam for the last 3 years and it was time to upgrade. This is the way its shaping up. Hey Stein, could you make me a harness to connect my Narco VTR 2A to my AP 74.
Its wierd that I now know a Narco VTR 2A will fit perfectly into a hole made for a Dynon D180.
