Avionics / Panel

Do's and Don'ts

• Don't remove any material from the ribs supporting the glare shield. You need to place the instruments so that they go left, right or underneath the ribs.
• Don't remove the lowest part of the sub-panel to accommodate GPS units (the bottom part with its flange is structural). Rather cut a rectangular hole for the GPS with rounded corners to avoid stress into the sub-panel and reinforce the cut-out with angle brackets as mentioned in the build manual.
• Don't put your backup attitude indicator (e.g. a G5) out of sight (on the copilot side, down on the center console)
• Don't put your IFR-certified GPS out of sight (more than 45 degrees to the right, more than 30 degrees down), unless you install a full annunciator panel in sight.

Midwest Panel Builders: New to RV-10. I sent them my entire upper forward Fuselage and they designed mounting shelves and mounted every component, designed the panel with my input and did all the wiring.   I also purchased all my Garmin avionics from them.   They produced schematics for me.
