A personal preference issue:  On my instrument panel layout, I have  been showing a SL-40 located on the vertical centerline below a Dynon D1000  display, however, a trial fit of a mock-up at this location looks awkward due to  having to work around the cross braces.  Doable, but.  A location on  the upper left side looks easier and puts the face more at eye level.  I  have seen radios at both locations, so I’m soliciting feedback based on  operational experience.  I am planning a single radio installation only,  but might opt for the Dynon remote radio as a second unit.  The center  mount allows for better access by either hand, but I can see the advantages of  the upper mount.  This all has to do with selecting locations for the  Skyview components and everything else that has to go behind the panel.

HI Stan-



My radios are up the left side of the panel, as I will be using my

throttle hand to tune them.  Getting the knobs and switches off the

centerline of the panel improves crashworthiness, as well.
