RJ.03 IBIS airplane panel concept revisited
The realtiy of building my experimental airplane made me re-think the instrument panel concepts for my RJ.03 IBIS.
On the one hand, I didn’t want to commit cash to the tune of something like a GNS 430 early on in the project, thinking that as my project progresses, electronics will become more economical and more powerfull as well.
On the other hand, I needed to plan the panel, wiring & wire routing, etc. to be able to continue with the fuselage. I didn’t like the idea of having to back track in the future at a moment in time where the fuselage is closed and modifying things becomes awkward.
So, after putting my thinking cap on and after inviting a glass of very nice Gragganmore in the supporting act, I modified my wishlist, dropped the GNS unit and started from scratch.
What I ended up with was the decision to use older equippement that is currently being phased out by those that upgrade to the latest cry in avionics.
At this moment in time, I have my avionics stack complete, with the exception of a VHF tranceiver and a transponder.
