I've found on my panel that everything on the right 1/3 of the panel
is difficult to see and use especially in flight. My radios are fine,
but the EFIS, CB's and IPOD (not shown) are a pain to read and adjust
even in slight turbulence. I pull the electronic aproach plates up on
my right screen during instrument approaches, but they are not ideal
since they are so far away. Adjusting a radio at that distance would
probably be equally annoying.
My suggestion for your panel is to squeeze everything together more if
possible. This would obviously require different equipment choices,
but maybe just opting for smaller EFIS screens. I've found that using
the 3 view on my AFS display works really well for me and doesn't seem
too small. With two small screens you would have even more room than
I do on one screen split into EFIS, Engine Mon., and Map.

Good morning everyone,
I was wondering if anyone in the piedmont triad area (out to
western Raleigh or northern Charlotte) would be so kind as to let
me come sit in your RV-7 (or -7A).
I'm just finishing up the empennage kit, and my wing kit is
scheduled for August delivery, but I've been dreaming of my panel
for awhile and am looking to lay my eyes on a real panel. (I'm
trying to answer some switch reachability and panel height (knees)
questions.)
I will, of course, take my shoes off (but I'll leave my socks on,
for both of our sakes).
In exchange for your kindness, you'll get to hear me tell the
following joke in person:
/Why, when ducks fly in a v formation, is one side of the v
longer?...<//awkward silence>...//Because there are more ducks on
that side./
Also, just for fun, I've attached a rough draft of my panel (you
can see that I think money grows on trees.)
Of course, thank you in advance.
