Are any of you installing/flying with the 10" Skyviews? Am interested in
how the installation was positioned in the panel. I am looking at
installing two of 10" Skyviews and was wondering about the layout in
regards to the "center" radio stack along with the placement of fuses
and switches. Any pictures would certainly be appreciated.

Ed,
I'm still wiring, but cleckoed the panel in to show what I did.
In the center top is Comm #1 (MicroAir). Below that is the Audio panel then
the GTN-650. The left round hole is standard airspeed indictor, the right
round hole is standard altimeter. The XDPR is located behind the panel
(Dynon unit). The GTN-650 requires a reinforced cutout on the next forward
bulkhead to fit. I added a hinge on the back of the GTN-650 that attaches
to the bottom of the bulkhead opening to support the unit. To take the
panel out you separate the connectors and pull the hinge pin.
The only 4 breakers on the panel are for the GTN-650 (2), the audio panel
and the MicroAir. These are the only power users that come out with the
panel. The power and ground come from separate left/right molex plugs. All
other breakers and switches are on the apron, along with the two heat
control cables, the air box alternate air cable and the oil cooler air
control cable. Interface connections to the stack are via D connectors.
Locations took awhile to figure out as you need to be mindful of
interference behind the panel.

Ed,
As we were flying well before Geoff's panels were available we used the standard Vans flat metal panel and did a little trimming of the reinforcement brackets including adding some simple stiffeners to make up for the material removed. If I were to build now I would install one of Geoff's panels in an Aurora, Oregon minute. The CF panel is soooo nice and is a real upgrade to the metal unit and is extra clean when considering the quadrant and center console options.

Carl,
Your idea is along the lines that I was thinking. I was looking to
put the radio stack to the left of the center rib. What are you planning
on installing in your stack? I was planning on a PMA-6000B, a 430W and
an SL30. Also, what do you plan to install in the round holes in the
lower left and upper right? Are you using a separate auto pilot? I have
attached a picture of the beginning thoughts that I have.

Ed,
I tried to do a fit with the radio stack left of the center rib, but I
really did not like how this forced the left Dynon display low on the panel.
That would leave both displays lower than desired or one low and one high -
weird looking. I also wanted a steam gauge airspeed indicator on my side of
the panel as I have never gotten use to using the EFIS airspeed indication
in my 8A for takeoffs and landings, and I wanted airspeed and altitude
backup to the Skyviews (even though the odds of both displays and both ADHRS
going out is remote - and each side has independent power).
The 430 can fit under the center rib with the PMA audio panel above it, and
you may have room for the SL-30 below the 430 depending on how tidy you are
with the wire bundles mounted to the bottom of the next forward bulkhead. I
mounted the audio panel as high as I could while still clearing the center
rib. I know others have modified the rib to gain clearance.
I have the SL-30 in my 8A and love it, but I have no need for a second
VOR/ILS receiver in the 10. I picked up the MicroAir from a builder that
never used it for a good price - and it is more than sufficient for a back
up transceiver. The compact size also elevated anymore bulkhead cuts. The
backup Nav to the 650 is of course the Skyview GPS.

Here is what I did. If you have the PFD on the right 1/2 of the screen on the pilots side and the left 1/2 of the screen on the co-pilots side then it is right in front of each. I also squeezed in a radio stack and a Garmin 696. I really like my layout....
Let me know if you have any questions or need more close-up pictures

Got the VP-200 for safety reasons and pre-VPX era. You may not need it, and
that will free up that space for a IFR screen, if you wish. I will say that
the safety features that the VP uses for mode switches and engine alarms is
great!
