Holding up my avionics work....

[Oldguy]

So my local avionics guy has my bird in line to do some work, but it is behind my buddy's 252. His came out today but I need mine next week, so I have to put it off for a month.

This is what I was queued up behind. He flies his plane 400-500 hours a year for his business.

Hard to get lost ... nice panel.  Same folks that did Paul’s? I noticed the G5 / Aspen combo and those aren’t very common.

I was gonna say, wow that panel looks very familiar. What shop did this work?

Holder Aviation in Pell City, AL (KPLR). Our little country airport has him and a Mooney-trained mechanic with 30+ years experience at a former MSC in Atlanta.

I won't say I coached him into copying your panel, Paul, but I may have shown him a photo or two....

Unfortunately, I don't have a EDM 900 to go in my panel - yet - so I will still have my original one with a few blanks filling empty holes.

I'm happy for anyone to copy my panel. I love it and it's a real joy to fly behind.

Great panel! I like your layout. I did a similar layout.

Yes, it is a joy. I had 2 hours solid IMC behind it yesterday with two approaches down to mins. At first I thought it was off course at one point until I saw the Aspen showing a quartering headwind of 32 kts. at 6000'.

Can't wait to get mine done.

Wow! And I thought mine took a long time when I waited 8 weeks.
