Hi Group

Curiosity question: Whats the weight of your Populated Instrument Module, and what do you have in it?

I know some have went on a weight reduction mission, before and after results would be of interest.

Thx. Ron P.

Ron,



When I pull my panel off for transponder install in the next couple of weeks I will let you know what mine is. I have a bunch of old school stuff so doubt it will be very light but who knows (or that it would be appealing to many pilots out there). The transponder I'm sure will add a lot percentage wise.
