Mandatory Panel Accessories

Hey, what do you guys think about my latest panel design? I know I have a ways to go but I'm trying to plan on only the mandatory items for an IFR panel design.

I LOVE IT!

It took me a minute, but I have already had a couple of those tasty beverages this evening!

Nice work Bret!

See you soon!

You mean bottle holder given the bottom center of the panel

I think it is a great panel, but I'm a bit biased becasue that is pretty much the same panel I would like if I had to decide now. Are you going to use the dual AHRS from GRT, or go with something else for a backup AI ? I was thinking the ADI from TruTrak or even a Dynon D10A. That VP unit sure is an advancement in power control, I'm an EE, so again I'm biased towards that kind of thing.

Yep, I agree. The only thing missing is the cup holder.

Good one Bret!

Hmmm, I do live in wine country, maybe I could integrate a corkscrew into mine.

Well, if you fabricate the cup holder properly, you could use it as a bottle holder as well.
