Maybe too much? 1956 182 panel

Have you modified your aircraft? STC? STOL Kit? Major rebuild from just a data plate?

Maybe too much? 1956 182 panel

Well, I run an avionics shop....so, why not...
Had to turn off terrain alerts though! It was ridiculous...

I love it. I am constantly having to turn off terrain alerts. Welcome to the backcountry club!

Too much? Not a chance! Very nice!

Too much money? Maybe but what the heck, sure is nice.

Re: Maybe too much? 1956 182 panel

With all the advancements in avionics instrument panels are rapidly becoming a form a "self-expression" within the confines of the regulatory requirements. I for one think its great to see all the "personalities" come alive in their creations. Keep it up and keep the pictures coming please.

Too much? The opposite in my opinion. Needs a GFC500. :D

Re: Maybe too much? 1956 182 panel

There is a hole in there for the GFC-500 (behind the yoke--darker area). Garmin has it in the works for later this year. I have a controller, I thought about putting it in there to fill the hole....but.... it will be here soon enough!

Cheers!

Cool. Gnx 375 and two g3x displays.

I wish I had room for the 10” in my 182.

Re: Maybe too much? 1956 182 panel

I'm going to assume this is Mark with Depot. You guys do nice work. I've worked on a few airplanes that your shop has had their hands on and I've always been impressed with what you've done. Keep up the good work.

Re: Maybe too much? 1956 182 panel

I have a 1956 Cessna 180 and wonder if you modified your control column from the original TEE to the goal post configuration. I have the STC and column from DELAIR in Porterville,Ca. I am looking at two GI-275 indicators with the GNX 375 because I can’t fit the G3X in the panel. Garmin tells me it must be installed in Portrait vs landscape for certified airplanes. I would like to discuss this with you.

Marko, did you know Gains and Bonnie Shultz, Alamosa, Fred Shotenboer, Monte Vista, and Ken Leach, Center? I instructed for all of them.

It is original....I was going to mount them reversed per the STC, but Garmin pointed out that it is a CAR3 aircraft, and the pfd there is okay. They are not deep. We put an avionics shelf on the firewall, above the yokes for the remote coms, audio panel. Gad 27 gad 29 and gea 24. The 10" must be landscape, and 7" portrait. Our panels are the same...

Cool....
I moved here in 98....heard of them, but didn't 't know them...my dad might, he had the shop in Gunnison from the early 80s...we have worked with Ron Ecord for years.
