Hey folks,

  I was playing around with xpanel panel design tool and it looks like it will be tight to get a set of Advanced Deck screens side by side on the stock -10 panel without pushing the com/gps/avionics stack to the right of center.  I've seen a couple post from Rob H that shows his panel and it looks like they will fit, just snugly.  (I'm assuming Rob is flying with the larger Advanced Deck in his 10)



So, just curious with those that are flying with dual/triple screen efis's... is it a big deal that the avionics stack is pushed off center?  If you were doing it again, would you keep the dual screens side by side (and/or stacked) or would you split them up and move one screen to the right side and only fly with the one screen in front of you?  



I'm flying with a Dynon d10 in the 7A and of course without the moving map I want the 430 close.  



Won't I still need to have easy access to the 430 for IFR approaches/flight plans, etc.



Hope to finish up the baffles/cowl tomorrow.  Going to have to get off the fence and decide on avionics soon to keep this thing moving forward...

Doug,

I'm not sure you can get it to work with the stock panel. Heres mine with an aftermarket panel and two 3500's. Stein sells one that will work though I'm sure. This picture was well over a year ago, lots more airplane around it now.

I have dual AFS 3500 set up to change to 4500 with garmin 'stack' between.  They are 'shifted 'left' so all is easy to reach.  I was initially concerned that  the panel lacked 'symmetry but since really appreciate how easy it is to reach 430/530 and the right AFS.  The copilot still can use the right AFS and also reach the radios.  The autopilot also is in each reach, and easy to see.  cheers.  larry

Slightly off-topic, but here is my 3 screen GRT with Stein's "center 

canted left" panel blank.  Fair symmetry here but still pilot optimized.

I have developed a new panel for the RV-10 I am building and it will hold 2 AFS advanced decks side by side. Here is a picture of the prototype

mock up in my Rv-10. In this picture the backups are above but I will put them on the left side running vertical.

Rick, looks nice.  How tall is the panel?  Looks like Stein has a blank that is ~1.5" taller than Van's stock.  I'm 6'5" so knee/leg room is key for me.



Thanks, 

Doug
