As a way of getting all the beautiful panels on stage I am conducting a vote for your favorite panel. There are 2 categories vintage and modern, you know who you are. post your panel photo on this thread and vote by likes and if you change mind unlike. As someone with a not so nice panel I feel compelled to run this contest. no prize other than pride of ownership.

hope lots of you panel junkies enter.

good luck and may the best  MOONEY panel win!

I'll bite. Here is the stock panel in my Acclaim:

You are disqualified. Only panels with a lot of owner's sweat count.

Also people with more than $10mil income should be out.

Ha! If my income was more than $10mil you'd be looking at a pic of my TBM-900 panel!

I hope lots of panel shots show up for the contest. Could also be a great resource for those looking to upgrade. Let's go all you panel guys.

In that spirit, and even though it's not my airplane any more, here are before and after shots of the glass panel I installed in my Encore:

A few (old) photos of the rebuilt panel. Nothing new planned at this time, but I do switch out some boxes from time to time. I still like the six pac needles over tapes, but then I'm an old UFO (United Flying Oxygenarian) member.

GTN 750, GTN 650, (replacing the GNS 430 in the photo), AERA 796 WX (replacing the AERA 696 in the photo) remote transponder, remote audio panel, JPI 830. KAP 150 autopilot coupled through a SAM Icarus GPSS, LIfesaver backup AI, GDL 88 ADS-B in-out, and a bunch more stuff like the CYA-100 AOA that was recently installed. Back up electric vacuum system, in panel CO detector, and the really neat under glareshield lighting that augments the NuLite instrument lights. Not shown: the portable Dynon D-1 EFIS that mounts on the windscreen with a ram suction cup. The iPad Mini does not block my view of the panel when in flight. The yoke is forward in the photo. I guess it is time to take some new photos. OK, I added a newer photo with the GTN 650 and AERA 796 in place, and the AOA display head. c5b67b0c76c2bb440577d943ea6e9896.jpg22514e94173297126985f8cb1d58d9ec.jpg

Impressive before the upgrade Joe!

Yes, it was a great panel. But during an annual inspection it was determined that both AI's and the HSI all needed to be overhauled or replaced, so I kind of overreacted and glassed the panel instead.
