Brief Description: Instrument Panel Layout
|
|
The time has arrived that I need to finalize the instrument panel design, so I can get the holes cut, so I can install the instruments, and proceed with wiring.
My RV8 is an all-electric, no vacuum system. It's pretty clear where the Garmin G3X Touch goes; most of the real estate is taken up by the GDU 460. To the immediate left of the GDU460, which will be the primary flight instruments, navigation and engine indication system, - will be the GTR 200 #1 comm radio, the Garmin GMC 305 A/P Controller, and the Garmin GPSMAP 496.
I have a GTR 20 for my #2 comm radio, which mounts behind the panel and is controlled by the G3X touchscreen. The transponder is the Garmin 23 ES, which is also behind the panel and controlled by the G3X touchscreen. If the G3X touchscreen fails, I'll have the GPSMAP 496 for navigation,
I have a Dynon D1 Pocket Panel, which will be to the immediate right of the GDU 460 touchscreen display. This will be the backup flight instrument. Below the D1, again to the immediate right of the GDU 460, is a whiskey compass.
The Flap and Elevator up/off/down switches are below the GDU 460, separated by the circuit breakers for each, as well as the CB for the Roll and Pitch servos, and the GMC 305 A/P Controller. To the immediate right of the Elevator on/off/down switch, are 5 more CBs for the EFIS/Nav/EIS components, then another 3 CBs for the Comm #1, #2 and transponder.
Far left side of the panel are (4) dimmers for panel/instruments/cockpit
Far right side of the panel are (4) CBs for various circuits (USB, etc.)
I currently have the Master CB (60A) to the right of the Whiskey compass... I am thinking this will change.
