Wow! You are at the Empacone and you have alredy purchased a VP-200. I wish I had such confidence in ANY piece of avionics. I'm at the Fuselage/Finish/Firewall Forward AND panel wiring and I know that I'm gonna install a GNS-430W but I still haven't ordered it yet. I guess you plan to build really fast.

Well, yes and no. I'm not usually one for bleeding edge technology, but I'm confident in this product. Call me crazy. I was actually on a really good build pace, but had a little detour through Iraq that basically shut me down for a year. Anyway, I had the extra cash available so I went ahead and made the purchase as a welcome home present to myself. Now for the rest of my avionics, I'm like you, I won't commit until I'm actually getting close to being ready to work on the panel. I seem to change my mind daily as to what I'd like to have and what my budget can support.  Seriously, I have settled on a baseline panel (see attachment) and now I'm just evaluating the new products that come out to see if they warrant supplanting what I've already chosen.
Cheers!

Todd
Welcome back from Iraq E Your service is appreciated!
6nbsp;
As far as panels go C yours is a near clone of what I have in mind E Dual GRT 6nbsp;/ VP200 / Trutrak 6nbsp;AP 6nbsp;/ PS 6nbsp;Egineering 6nbsp;/ Garmin 6nbsp;everything else E
6nbsp;
How are you planning to mount the two boxes over the tunnel? I have contemplated getting one of the fiberglass consoles but a also considering building something as well E
6nbsp;
What 6nbsp;software 6nbsp;are you using to layout your panel?
6nbsp;
If you are doing your own wiring C check out the FastStack 6nbsp;from http://www Eapproachfaststack Ecom/ E
6nbsp;
Cheers

Les,
I'm going to go with a center console from Accuracy Avionics. I'm also going with their overhead console as well, with NACA vents in the rear to feed the air vents.
A far as panel layouts, I've been using ePanel Builder online and Accuracy's 3D panel wizard. Right now these suffice for the rough order of magnitude that I'm dealing with at this stage.
