The problem is the only place to locate the A/C evaporator/blower is at the top of the stack and the GNS430W extends too far back at the top of the stack. I hope to be mostly flying the EFIS. N31161 is a beautiful plane.

Stan, The "Garmin GNS 430W NAV/COM/ GPS" should be at the top of the center stack. You will be looking at this instrument more than the Instrument cluster when flying IFR. Having to look down a lot of the time while flying IFR can induce vertigo. What a beautiful panel. I fly IFR all of the time and my steam gage panel works but I wish that I had yours. http://www.dynacomm.us/lorn/ Lorn > From: "Stan Fields" > Date: June 15, 2010 6:37:26 PM EDT > > I'm trying to finalize my panel and would appreciate any comments, > advise or suggestions.
