So I got the new iPad Mini 6 mount in and got to work... I used the template I had 3D printed on the back of the panel to locate the 4 mounting holes, them moved it to the front to mark the panel cutout... IMG_2888.JPG IMG_2889.JPG I then used a cutoff disk in a grinder to make a rough opening... IM...

The best laid plans... can still fail horribly. While my iPad strictly speaking does fit on the panel... you can't see any of the switches when it's on there! IMG_2815.JPG So I had to go looking for another solution... try as I might there was no way to make a standard 10.9" iPad fit, so I will...

Now everything reflects the actual attitude of the aircraft. Before this my displays were showing no...

The A ir D ata A ttitude H eading R eference S ystem, or Garmin GSU 25C needs to be mounted very securely to the airframe, and it needs to be mounted +/- 1 degree either longitudinally or laterally. There is not a pre-determined location or mount for this. Midwest Panel Builders gave me a plate they...

On my first attempt to power up the GNX 375 didn't come on... a little digging and I found a bent pin... got that straightened out and everything powered up fine.

Remote avionics bay behind the baggage area...

Working on securing the wiring in place... I made a bracket that goes between rudder pedal adjustment lever brackets, and started adding Adel clamps.
