Does anybody know if the G900X will fit in the standard size Van's -10 panel. What is the vertical size needed for the G900X screens?

Jessie,
We had some debate on making the panel 1” taller but I THINK we ended up with the standard height panel (big help). Photo on bottom of page:

Maybe you can eyeball it by looking at the lower left & right cutout “ears” on the bottom of the panel.

Hi Jesse,
It will indeed. The easiest way to look at the 900X screens is to take a sheet of plain ole' office paper (8.5" x 11") and that's about the exact size of the Garmin Screens. Drop me a line off list if you need more detailed info.
Cheers,
Stein

As I mentioned last week. Stein has done three. See Robin Marks, Team RV and Dr. Peeler who is yet to surface here. Pacific Coast is looking to do a fourth. These are all dual G900’s with the dual Garmin 530A, 16 watts per output. Columbia (Cessna) drove the decision to do a remote FMS unit which Team RV is showing at http://steinair.com/panels.htm.
Stein has your dimensions.

In the interest of fair reporting we didn't/aren't doing Robins panel, John Stark did/is. That being said, Robin's panel is indeed a wee bit taller and in fact isn't the standard Van's panel. I helped John out on this CAD for this panel, and in order to get the Sorcerer above the G900X's and still use the same type of lower switch strip both the upper and lower panels had to be extended slightly. I don't know what the final measurements for Robin's panel were (we didn't do it), but both the upper and lower pieces have been enlarged. You'd have to ask John, but I'm pretty sure this panel is in fact a bit larger than Van's standard. The standard Van's panel is only 11.96" top to bottm, and then you remove the area of nutplates and there is even less space to work with. The 900X's will fit in the upper piece standard panel, just not with the Sorcerer above it. Also, in order to get 2 rows of breakers in the lower strip it also has to be enlarged as it's only about 1.49" from top to bottom. You need at least (or close to) 2.5" on that switch strip to get 2 rows of breakers in there. An easy giveaway in the pics is the AML rocker switches which themselves are 1.2" tall and if the lower strip were the same as original there would be less than .2" above and below, where in Robin's panel there is at least .5"-.75" above and below.
Anyway, it an be done with Van's panel...just not easily. I haven't seen anyone use the original panel on the 900X's among the people I know building them (I think we're on G900X RV-10 Panel #6 or 7 right now and we've not used the original panel once). We don't always post all pics of all panels we do on the web, because some people just don't want others to see their N Number, name or panel on the net. Some of the guys getting 900X's I doubt we'll hear from on any list or forum....they are just offline type of people. I know that Avionics Systems as well as Aerotronics also each have RV-10 G900X builds in progress as well. It's a small community with these 900X's and we were all down at Garmin a few weeks ago for 900X training again. We get to know each other quite well, and also help each other out quite a bit working with these things.
I think they are perhaps more popular then many people would realize, because a lot of the 900X customers aren't actively involved in this or the VAF community.
Have a great week and happy building,
Cheers,
Stein
