Yetti Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Fun new buttons to push with magenta lines to follow. Looking good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Heene Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Very nice, please post the finished pics when you get done. I would look forward to see them. I'm looking into an engine monitor and may have to redo my panel to fit it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that L3 show traffic on the Aspen? I have an Aspen in mine. I need to get ADSB looking into it. Got quote at 8,900 to install a Garmin 345 in my 68 C model. The wing mount for 1,899.00 looks good for the price and 10 mins to install sounds too good to be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Last time I posted a shot of my (steam) panel, someone wisecracked that they thought I had WWII-style battle damage . . . Just because the little flimsy plastic cover cracked into three pieces during IFR recert and had been removed. Replacement parts cost an arm and a leg and must still be trimmed to fit, so I am (slowly) making my own cosmetic panel cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just casually looking at the panel @Marauder had built and the next thing I know a whole new co-pilot panel, radios, fuel caps, bladders, antenna, and a lot more. His pictures are corrupt with some bad avionics bug. you look at them and poof you start spending lots and lots of money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a price decrease and a special going on when I purchased. One of the guys at Oshkosh can probably share the current show price. On another thread I think people provided some guesses on install time. As for the GTX-345, that is high for the unit’s I have seen sold around here. Around $6500 installed is the going rate for the non-GPS version. The L-3 9000 standard unit is priced pretty close to the 345 but you do get a GPS built into the box plus the display on the unit. It is also seamlessly integrated into the Aspen. I like redundancy and having both the Aspens and the L-3 display the traffic and weather is a great redundancy.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Thanks for the info. You definitely have a panel to die for. I have 2 Garmin 430's one with Waas and I like your panel lay out better than mine. I will check on the L-3. I like that screen display for traffic also. If it's the same price as the Garmin I would go with the L-3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the same price as the Garmin I would go with the L-3. If you listen to their free seminar, they will add in the ATAS traffic warning system. Pretty impressive and I have yet to hear it call out traffic that wasn’t a real threat. I opted for the TAS (active traffic) option as well. This allows me to see transponder only traffic that may not be picked up by radar. It is built into the box and can be activated later. This is an example. The brown target on the Aspen displays is a plane on the parallel taxiway. Not an active threat but clearly being tracked by the L-3.

Guest Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 I also have the Lynx 9000 with active traffic, it’s a great unit. It was expensive to buy and install as there are fewer avionics shops here. I have it displaying on my Aspen, 430 & 480. Clarence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's interesting here is in the '75 there is a good 3" between the defroster and the front of the panel. The door frame is about the same place as the panel in yours. So maybe that is where they add the 3" between the earlier and later models. Still hanging on for the Skyview. My IT background just likes integration.

Been working and balancing the job with this remodel and ran into the biggest gotcha ever.... I did it myself and could only laugh!!! The CDI is clocked 90 degrees off. How in the world did I do that? So off to cut another panel. Sometimes it doesn't pay to enjoy a hobby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1964-M20E Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Just add what ever notch is need to to rotate it 90 degrees. Extra holes and notches are good for the panel makes it look not so pristine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
