The day before yesterday, I played with the GPS panel opening. Sanded the opening for a while and then decided, to make the GPS removable, the opening would have to be so large, it would be unsightly. As such, the only way to remove my GPS 496 is to remove the top instrument panel and then loosen/remove the GPS mounting screws. As always, it is give and take. Playing with the GPS opening work took me about 6 hours.
Today, installed the GPS, intercom interface and then the ELT inteface. Had to go to the hardware store for some screws for the ELT panel as the ones supplied were far from being acceptable.
Will install the ELT body on Wednesday. Should take me about 2 hours.
It is just amazing that the installation of the avionics ONLY takes a few days!!
Time - 14 hours
