Brief Description: panel layout

I think this is going to be final panel setup, well almost (maybe)I have spent a lot of time recently fiishing up jobs that have been left, and doing lots of research on avionics and deciding on panel, engine, prop etcThis is what I have now finally decided upon.Engine: Superior XP 360 injected horizontal induction with investment cylinders and 9:1 pistonsI was originally going for an overhauled 200hp angle valve Lycoming, but bearing in mind that the Superior is brand new for almost the same money and with the high compression pistons and blue printing should give about 190hp, that and the fact that it weighs about 40Ibs less than the Lycoming made my mind up. My only concern is that after reading a couple of flight test reports, The RV7, even with a 200hp Lycoming up front seems to be a little tail heavy, Removing weight from the nose might restrict the amount of baggage I can carry, Suppose I can also fit a lead spinner!Prop: MT 3 blade constant speed with chrome spinner.Constant speed because, have you ever tried driving a car arround thats stuck in one gear?MT because my business is involved with German products and their engineering rocks.3 blade with chrome spinner because it just looks right!Panel: Dynon EFIS D100, Dynon EMS D120, Skyforce moving map with terrain mapping.Trutrak pictorial autopilot with alltitude hold, Standby ASI and Alti, Compass, Garmin SL40 radio and Transponder.Dynon because the Flight and engine data can be shared between screens and has split screen capability, Good value for money, compact and lightweight compared to steam gauges,clean lines clean panel
