@ Airborne_Again
I need the TOGA and Smart Glide close to my right hand. The problem of moving the DME is likely the panel realestate and the risk to have more cuts in the central area and weak the support platform. I am already moving the master and lights to where the old A/P was for that reason.
Which DME model is it?
For most models it should be possible to have the DME indication done also in the 500TXI (which is much better as it is close to where you look at anyways) so that the position of the separate DME indicator doesn’t matter at all
Why not to split panel? I would think a little about serviceability…
@Malibuflyer no clue.
Beautiful! Where will the GFC500 mcp be?
Almost ready to fly
Fantastic 👏
@Snoopy, wait till you see the bill.
Meanwhile, my left wing failed the spar inspection. After some desperation, with emails back and forward between me, the installation firm and US Piper parts, one early morning I find a Turbo Arrow IV project for sale on PlaneCheck, and imagine, at the same aerodrome were I have mine to do the upgraded. Initial excitement after to be told that the part number is not the same. Punched in the face and kicked a bit lower.
Mails again back and forward, afterall, the only difference is the wing tip that can be replaced by my old wing, so it is possible to use. Spar inspection done and it is a GO. Uffffffffffffff.
New cockpit, new left wing.
