Panel Designs!
Let's see your favorite panel designs!
I'm deep into this right now and am planning on the simplest and lightest install I can build!
I'm really loving the stuff that Levil is doing with the BOM and more specifically the iLevil 3 AW...paired with a new iPad Pro 12.9 (with mini LED screen hopefully) it should make an amazing, big, bright glass panel.
I have a probe for an LRI left over from a previous build so I'll add a DYI gauge as a backup. I'm also looking at using TQ radios. A bit cheaper than others and extremely light...and the GPS out on the Levil can be used as the position source for the ADS-B out on the transponder.

Hi
Here is mine. The criteria were low cost and low weight. If I had to build it again I would use a MGL radio instead of a FL-760. The radio part of the FL-760 is great, but the intercom/music part is not. I never had any reliability issue, thermal or other, with these instruments.
A few notes :
- There is a glovebox behind the ipad.
- The magnetic compass is mandatory in Canada. It is a convenient headset hanger but that's it's only use.
- It does not look like that but the trim switch can be operated with one finger while the hand controls the throttle.
