Brief Description:  Revise instrument panel content and position

Based on feedback from VAF I made a number of revisions to my planned panel. Basically I had planned on using a remote WAAS GPS for position. The feedback was that setup would not execute GPS approaches and thus limmit the possible IFR utility of the aircraft to ILS and VOR type approaches. Not good when most airports have or will have only GPS approaches. Also comments were made on an independent back up HSI. I was supprised to learn that most do not consider a second MFD/ADAHR combo of the same brand a suitable back up.

So in went a GTN625, kept the nav radio, 2nd com is in the GTN625 and added a G5 stand alone HSI and I kept the two big MFDs ... Working around structural limitations and what I have already placed, the panel now looks like the pics below.

Creating cut outs and backlight shrouds for the switches is ongoing. Progress is very slow due to a major remodel on the house under way. To add insult to injury, several big unexpected expenses are killing the funds I have been pouring into the airplane project, and likely will continue for at least a few more months.
