bdavis171 Posted August 22, 2021 Author Report Posted August 22, 2021 Really happy with how this turned out. I went to Park Rapids Avionics in Minnesota. They did a great job! Panel was done in 6 weeks. The only thing I would do differently is go ahead and upgrade to the remote audio panel vs keeping the 350c that I already had. I had the new yokes wrapped by Aero Comfort, all new LED lights, electric retract step so no more vacuum pump. The GFC 500 has all 4 servos, very smooth! It flies like a brand new airplane! 1 Quote

Beautiful panel. No one is ever really done with their panel. One the next round you could do the remote audio panel and put a #2 Com (or gps/com pr nav/com) where the 350C is now. 1 Quote

The GTN750 can control a remote transponder and a remote audio panel, but I'm not aware of a remote com. Edit: I stand corrected. That's a nice feature of the G3X. 1 Quote

Mooney Dog Posted August 22, 2021 Report Posted August 22, 2021 That a nice upgrade! Did you go single nav/com/gps? 1 Quote
Mooney in Oz Posted August 22, 2021 Report Posted August 22, 2021 Nice indeed! I enjoy seeing pre J model Mooneys getting the G3X treatment. 1 Quote
DCarlton Posted August 22, 2021 Report Posted August 22, 2021 Beautiful panel and enviable yoke upgrade. I noticed one detail though. There's an upgrade for the cabin door handle too. I installed the mod after my door handle twisted off and I had to call an FBO to have someone open the door. Even more importantly it's black and it'll match the new panel. Hopefully the parts are still available. 1 Quote

carusoam Posted August 22, 2021 Report Posted August 22, 2021 Fantastic panel pic bd! Thanks for sharing the details… First I have heard of the remote com… Back in the day… Mooneys were so panel space limited… Today… we might be running out of room on the shelf in the back…. Nice way to help manage the WnB… one pound at a time… Best regards, -a- 1 Quote
0TreeLemur Posted August 23, 2021 Report Posted August 23, 2021 Now that's what I call an autopilot!!! 1 Quote
bdavis171 Posted August 24, 2021 Author Report Posted August 24, 2021 Wanted to correct something, only 1 Nav. And thanks, very happy with it thus far. Still trying to ensure I have the right button sequences when loading and flying approaches, then coupling the autopilot. 1 Quote
carusoam Posted August 25, 2021 Report Posted August 25, 2021 One super powerful nav device… with graphics and intersections displayed with precision… Having a planB is always good too…. And PlanC just because…. Go MS! Best regards, -a- Quote
Stetson20 Posted August 25, 2021 Report Posted August 25, 2021 Forgive my ignorance- is there an engine monitor that comes with that package? I don't see a separate engine monitor display. My Rocket panel looks a lot like your "before" panel. Care to give a price range for this gorgeous upgrade? 50amu? 70? 25 (dreaming!) lol Roy Quote

carusoam Posted August 26, 2021 Report Posted August 26, 2021 The EIS is an amazing powerful data collector…. Of all kinds of flight data, not just the engine details… Somebody on MS kindly shared an example of the wealth of data that was taken on a flight… Best regards, -a- Quote
