  • hey guys, doing a panel upgrade on my 65' 185D. Does anyone know the height measurement from top of yoke on panel to top of panel? I am trying to get a g3x touch in 10 inch but the avionics shop is telling me there is not enough height for it to fit? I know it will have to be off center but did not know there was not enough height.
