Stage 2 of the M20F Panel Upgrade for "Time Machine"

[SkyPilot]

I'm just starting out to do my panel. I pulled out the Tube ADF and the Tube Narco 12. I guess that was Stage 1.

Stage 2 just happened October 25th. I had the Avionics shop remove an old Narco Com Selector, as well as my marker beacons and the old intercom, which was kinda sketchy..

Then they put in a Garmin 340 Comm selector with 4-place intercomm & a Garmin SL30 Navcom with glideslope. Everything is nicely in the middle and once the KX-155 becomes unrepairable, there is room to add a Garmin 530. My autopilot needs a little fixing but that is in the works.

Stage 3 will be the pilot side panel. I'm talking with http://www.hendricks...com/prod02.html and looking at the large flat panel with 8 holes so I can install the ILS head for the SL30 I've allready put in. It would be a huge improvement for the scan. And yeah, I still like the steam gauges.

Stage 4 will be a JPI EDM 930 and an improvement in the scattered breakers. That will leave me tons of room to add anything else I get crazy enought to add like a stormscope, radar altimeter (i've gotten used to them, very handy), etc.

looks much better. A 530 would look awesome in the center stack, but I think the kx-155 is pretty bulletproof. You may be waiting a long time.

I just received the pilot side panel from Lyle at Hendricks Manufacturing. It's getting old school steam gauges, but that's what I like for flight instruments. I've got a new spot opened up for the 2nd ILS to go with the new Garmin SL30  I'm hoping the recessed ring lighting fits in but I'll have to check. Good-bye fake woodgrain...

Looking good.

When you get to the engine monitor, consider the EI MVP-50 too. Looks great so far.
