donkaye Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 It's been a long 6 months, but the plane is finally back in its hangar. It's mostly complete but the AP in not functioning. Monday should fix that problem. The configuration of these systems is really complex. Anyway here is the summary: Out: EFIS 40, KY196A, KX155, KT79, KAS 297B, KNS 81, KR87, KLN90B, WX1000+, PMA7000B, all legacy instruments. In: G500SVT, GTN750, GTN650, GTX 330ES, GAD 43E, GMA 35, GDL69A, GDL 88, GTS 800 Diversity, WX-500, ESI 2000, MVP 50. Remained, KN 63, Shadin Miniflo-L, KFC 150 I went with the External Transponder because of all the other useful functions it has. Soon to be added an AOA indicator. As a side note, the location of the ESI 2000 and G500 provide for the horizons to be horizontally centered with each other, an interesting task for the installer. 1 Quote
Steve Dawson Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 Nice looking Don and very functional, Good idea about having the 2 AH on the same level. What extra functions are you using on the GTX 330ES that you wouldn't get on the 650?? Steve Quote
FlyDave Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 Don, Congratulations on getting your plane back. I know it's been a long haul. You're going to love flying behind that panel! It looks, well, sparse - to say the least but very functional. Dave Quote
Resanborn Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 Don I like your panel set up very nice functional. It sure seams like six month is excessive time to wait ! Thanks for the pictures. RS Quote
Danb Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 Don..looks awesome do u think you'll miss your steam. Lol. Very nice !, Quote
DaV8or Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 Wow. That's a big project. Nicely done. I have to go Google some of that stuff. I don't even know some of the stuff you put in, but one thing is for sure, your Mooney is now 21st century in the cockpit! 1 Quote
Nathan Peterson Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 Very nice Don… looks great and I love your LRU rack. All I got to say is, Sweeeeeeeeeeeet! Quote
Bennett Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 Don, Simply great. Perfect setup in my opinion. Which AOA are you going to have installed? Quote
carusoam Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 Wow! That sets the bar to a new high... Best regards, -a- Quote
Piloto Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 Very well done. More practical than a G1000 set up. If you don't mind asking how much was the bill? I just wonder if my next tax refund will be enough to upgrade mine. José Quote
Bob - S50 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 Wow! Wish I had all that. Did you have to sell your house to pay for it? Bob Quote
DAVIDWH Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 Can't see anything left to do except to order a card compass from Spruce. Congratulations!! Unbelievable panel! Quote
carusoam Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 Next steps... A) See if Hector can you get you modern Acclaim/O3 looking yokes? B ) Use a Sharpie or sandpaper to black out the KFC's silver outline to match the new modern look! Just trying to help you spend a few more $! Reminds me of the day Craig posted his modern version of the 201 panel and the discussions related to vacuum system removal... Best regards, -a- Quote
donkaye Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Posted March 8, 2014 Next steps... A) See if Hector can you get you modern Acclaim/O3 looking yokes? I want to do that, but the yokes can't be removed because of extensive wiring in them. I need to find out if that job can be done with the yokes on. Does anyone know? Quote
carusoam Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 I think this would be the place to ask??? http://www.aerocomfort.com/index/contact Best regards, -a- Quote
