This is where I will make periodic entries regarding the build progress of my kit. I will post photos, and discuss work completed or problems encountered.

Remote avionics woes

Post by MikeFairbanks »

So I thought the remote avionics tray came out great... but there's a problem. The main rack that holds the radios, audio panel, and VP-X Pro, is too far forward. The connectors on the front side of the VP-X protrude into the baggage area. The baggage area is just a sack, so it would still install OK... but the problem is any time you put something into baggage if it hit the back of the sack it would be smashing the wires and connectors coming out of the VP-X... NOT GOOD!

This rack will have to be moved back at least 1.25", and a protective plate put in front of it so nothing in the baggage area can damage it. Of course once you move that rack, the IntelliKey box behind it will have to move as well.
