OK, since it's Friday and I haven't spoke in the alum tongue for a while here goes:-)
http://rvflying.tripod.com/carbonpanel.jpg Well, I guess it's not alum but composite. The panel was laid up by Steve Eberhart. If you don't know Steve, he and I are heading that way together and will be camping. Steve, along with Mark, was one of the major forces behind the new wing. He was also the manufacturer of the airfoil that went into the wind tunnel. If anyone has seen this wing portion you will understand just how good my panel looks. This panel is 4 layers and carbon from the bottom of the Garmin 327 transponder and 10 layers south of the 327. My throttle, mixture etc. will be below the 327, thus the extra support. A lip is also built into the panel on the backside below the 327 to give it a good attachment point plus add rigidity. The Dynon is wired to the 327 providing gray code, thus no need for an encoder. Two holes are cut into the alum panel on the backside to the left of the 430 for a Garmin 106A indicator head and a hole for the Trio Avionics EZ Pilot Autopilot. The red lens on the top is the Grand Rapids EIS4000 engine moniter idiot light. The PS Engineering stereo intercom is below the Monroy 200 Air Traffic Detector. The detector is wired into the intercom so the female can "talk" to me when traffic is present and I have the autopilot on watching a DVD on the 7" LCD screen mounted on the right side:-). If I don't have everything permanently wired in I'll pull it out and bring it to the gathering along with my completed gold powder coated 13B rotary. Back to work, it sure is fun when you can start turning things on!! Dana Overall 1999 & 2000 National KR Gathering host Richmond, KY i39 RV-7 slider, Imron black, "Black Magic" Finish kit 13B Rotary.
