I got a photo of our panel from Aerotronics. We are replacing the white capped switch with a black one, but other than that this is the finalized configuration.
We’ve been working on this for the past 18 months and I’m really happy with the final results. We got exactly what I wanted with regards to equipment, a professional layout, and the Aerotronics team was able eclipse my expectations with regards to functionality and resiliency. Some of their ideas for the design of the electrical system and integration of the components exceeded what I would have been able to come up with if I had rolled my own panel. So I’m a very happy customer.
The electrical system is dual buss/dual alternator/dual battery. The primary displays are the Garmin G3X with the GPS and XM options. I have a Dynon D6 that is backing it up for a rainy day. The audio panel is a PS Engineering 8000 BT. The GPS is the Garmin GTN-750. The second NAV/COM is a Garmin SL-30. The transponder is a remotely mounted (controlled through the G3X) Garmin GTX23 ES. The autopilot is the Garmin GX Pilot.
The Dynon has a backup battery in it and we went ahead and put a TCW battery on the second DC input of the G3X too. All of the critical pieces of gear are attached to both busses. I’m very happy with it from a resiliency perspective.
At OSH this year, Garmin announced their GDL-88 ADS-B system that can be plugged in to the GTN750. So this panel is pre-wired for the GDL-88 system. The GDL 88 is not available yet, but when it becomes available we’re ready to go by simply plugging it in. This will give me the ability to display TIS traffic / XM weather on the G3X display while simultaneously displaying ADB traffic/weather on the GTN750. The idea is to use both over the short-term and when I’m satisfied with ADS-B coverage, I can get rid of the XM subscription all together.
A few other things about the panel, it’s has a built in CO detector. It also uses an AN-21 annunciator system (that’s what is driving the small annunciator LED’s on top). Also it includes the control head for a 4-Place oxygen system.
Needless to say, I’m really happy with how the entire panel turned out and the functionality/resiliency/modularity that it offers. This wasn’t the easiest process for Aerotronics as I was wanting to do some unique things such as the burl woodgrain, but they worked with me all the way through the process and I think we ended up with a custom panel that we can both be proud of.
Geoff Combs of Aerosport Products also deserves a word of thanks too for providing an attractive panel option for the RV-10.

Beautiful! You are going to love flying behind the G3x and the 750. What, no wet compass?

Thanks Geoff.
Robin, I can't seem to stay away from the whiskey in the compass. So we decided to leave that part out instead of tempting me in flight!

They just came out with a Cross Country version you should check out.
For continuous operations it is suggested you use a straw.

Great looking panel. The attention to detail is phenomenal. You will be happy with your layout and the G3X system.
