    Glasair III panel getting close

    Glasair III. Panel G3X, garmin 400w and two new garmin radios. Full 3 axis auto pilot. Farthest left ignition switches (both lightspeed electronic) breakers and everything for the ignition in one place. Section 2 is two garmin screenes and the missing section is everything related to the gear (it's in the plane right now), third section is radio stack and auto pilot controller. Fourth section is copilot screen, elt, and dimmer knobs on top. Last panel is breakers for everything not gear or ignition. Also the air vent on first and last panel.

    Looks really nice. Just curious why you went with a G400 and dual radios.
    Also, is the G3X dual screen?

    Don't believe one needs to be an electrical expert to recognize quality work, and that definitely looks the part Todd.

    Thanks ken, my dad gets the credit on the wiring. He takes it very seriously. Tim, the 400w and two radios was because of gar ins price incentives on the 400 when buying the g3x. The deal didn't exist on the 420w and I am not sure on a 430 but I didn't want the 430.

    Thanks Tim, I told him and he appreciates it. The work continues, can't wait to fly it! The building is fun too.
