Spurious Moppet Posted October 29, 2018 Report Posted October 29, 2018 I redid the panel on the E. It’s done, but here are some pictures from the process... I don’t have an “after” yet. Didn’t think of it. Anyway, added a second G5 and put a used GTN and a Trig TT22. I used a CNC setup with my Dewalt router to cut the panels BTW. Also put in the electric step mod. Anyway if anybody needs some Brittain vacuum servos and an LS-2 gyro I’ll be selling. 2 Quote
MIm20c Posted October 30, 2018 Report Posted October 30, 2018 Nice work! Any pictures or info on your cnc setup? Quote

It comes with 2D CAD and CAM software. I used Solidworks for the modeling (free for EAA members). Cut a plexiglass panel to verify clearances. Aluminum was actually easier to cut. The CNC setup was pretty sweet. 3 Quote
Spurious Moppet Posted October 30, 2018 Author Report Posted October 30, 2018 I’ll post a picture of the finished panels when I get back from this trip... 3 months on reserve and they finally asked me to fly a trip just as I was getting ready to test fly the Mooney. Grrr. Quote
gsxrpilot Posted October 30, 2018 Report Posted October 30, 2018 Looks great! Glad you decided to give it a go. Quote

wburger1 Posted November 8, 2018 Report Posted November 8, 2018 I could not find the electric step mod directions on Mooneyspace. How would I go about doing that on my F? Thanks. Quote

carusoam Posted November 8, 2018 Report Posted November 8, 2018 Our best resource for used radios comes from the reaper... @Alan Fox But GTNs are going to be hard to come by... Best regards, -a- Quote
