Successful!

Sorry for the low quality picture, but I am a builder, not a photographer!

Pat,

I like it! Nice looking panel!

Question, is the GRT display slightly off center and to the right or is that an optical delusion?

CJ,

The EFIS is slightly to the right of centerline. Moving it over to the center of the panel would waste space on the right and make things extremely tight on the left.

is that like the most nerve wracking thing you can possibly go through, that first powerup? I mean, WTF do you do if the smoke does come out? Hang yourself in the closet?

You try to stuff it back in before anyone else notices.

Yikes! It's just an airplane. Not worth doing oneself in.
