It appears that the only thing located inside the "tunnel" (27-05) is brake lines.
I'm considering installing a Garmin 695 in the tunnel, and a couple of steam gauges in the panel where the 495 "should" go. The latter to comply with a UK requirement.
Any fuselage builders able to comment on whether the tunnel is a suitable location from a "technical" perspective. It seems to require a two-inch depth, for a flush mounting.
Does anyone who has sat in the real thing have a view on the ergonomics of operating a GPS, or anything else, located on the tunnel? Could you reach it with seat belts fastened?
Cheers...Keith
