I’m in the process of installing my radio stack, which is a pretty typical installation.  (GNS-430w, SL-30, GTX-330, and PSE9000)

 

I have a question about spacing between the units, since I only have the trays at the moment and not the radios at the moment.   Are the dimples on the top and bottoms of the tray proper spacing, or do I need to allow for more spacing?

 

Thanks,

 

Bob

I found them to have the proper spacing as I recall - similar stack.



However, the front to back spacing is far from consistent. In my 

opinion, you have to have the boxes in order to build proper supports

I was aware that the 430 tray sticks out a bit.  There is a warning in the

install manual.   Do the mounting holes on the side line up?  I guess that

was my assumption, but you know how that goes.



So are we going to see the Maule or the RV-10 at Osh this year?

I swore that the next time I come to Osh, it will be in the '10.  Almost 

have my spray booth together and hope to start up the paint learning 

curve this weekend.

You should be able to make all of the mounting holes in a line on your angle or whatever you are using to mount them.  The only gotcha I've seen is that with the SL-30 tray, when you mount the tray, it needs a washer at least on one side between the tray and your support, because the tray itself is a little narrower than the other trays (just the SL-30 and SL-40).  If you just straight mount them the tray will deform a little bit and will make it harder to get the instrument in the tray.  I usually look up the dimensions online and total them (for height) and add .010" to the overall height for my hole in the panel, then I stack the trays and tape them together.  I use aluminum angle to mount them to the panel, so I draw a line a little past 1/2 way back on the angle and hold the tray stack on the angle and mark the center of all of the holes.  I then drill the holes #40 in one angle, then clamp the two angles together and drill #30 then #27 for the #6 screws.  I usually use #6 screws and nyloc nuts to hold the trays onto the angle and then use nutplates & #8 screws to hold the assembly onto the panel.  That way I can wire the trays into the plane and let them just sit in place, but I can put my panel in and take it out without messing with the trays.  I usually split the panel (when using a standard Van's-style panel) on one side of the stack or the other so the stack assembly holds the panel halves together, which also lets you take off one side or the other and get to the side of the stack assembly for rear support and for wiring.



Hope this helps.
