Nice panel...
Speaking of the Aspen...
I installed an Aspen and one side benefit is that it allowed me to
move my GNS530/NAV/COMM stack to dead
center of the panel. The Aspen DG/HSI is used as the primary for
ILS/GPS/WAAS approaches. I put the other head
and the tach on the other side of the GPS and use that for COMM 2 as
a secondary in the event the Aspen goes TU.
The VSI was sent to the great VSI graveyard in the sky and I moved
the steam AI to that spot.
The Aspen took a while to get used to but now I cant say enough good
about it. Of course YMMV.
