Brief Description: Panel Layout
|
|
The plans instrument panel has been replaced with a carbon fiber/e-glass panel. It is connected to the fuselage using screws and nutplates.
The Dynon Skyview was chosen to provide flight instrumentation, navigation, and communication. A Garmin 430W is installed to provide an IFR navigator. It is tied into the Dynon. A PS Engineering PDA 360EX audio panel is installed to manage the audio signals. The head set connections are installed in the baggage compartment.
The Dynon ADAHRS is installed on top of the radio stack. There are two installed, one being a backup.
The transponder is ADSB out compliant. It is mounted in the port wing spar. The antenna is installed in the strake tip compartment.
The Com transceiver is mounted in the starboard wing spar. There is a panel that controls the transceiver. Two other subpanels were installed. One for the autopilot and the other for dedicated knobs. The Dynon Coms antenna is located in the starboard winglet.
The Garmin GNS 430W is connected to the antenna in the port winglet. It is also connected to the VOR antenna located on the canard and the ILS Glideslope antenna located on the bottom of the fuselage. The GPS antenna is located on top of the turtleback. Garmin was very clear that it should be installed on top without any interferences. The glass would not normally be an interference, but the canopy frame is constructed of carbon fiber. I placed both the Dynon and the Garmin GPS antenna on the turtle back for this reason.
A row of switched along the top provide basic control of the electrical power. Several switches are on the control stick for radio transmit, speed brake, pitch and roll trim, fuel pump, auto pilot disconnect, and comm swap.
Ignition is controlled by two switched, one for the EI and one for the magnetos. The EI is powered from the circuit breakers. A push start switch activates the starter. The vertical power will disable the start switch when the engine is running.
All of the Dynon system and all electrical is documented on a draw
