    there is another solution for mounting an Ifly to the panel,.. lol its a toilet bowl bolt,.. no kidding,,its got the same head as the ball mount for the ifly to mount to,..it's what I used for now until I get my new panel built,..after putting a washer and nut on the bolt to hold the ifly,..I put another nut on the bolt,..drilled a hole in panel then a nylock nut on back side,..then I took the nut loose that holds the ifly took it off ,,bent the bolt slightly toward pilot seat,..then put ifly back on,..

    What a good idea! I ended up using a flat head garage carriage bolt and ground two sides flat but the toilet bolt is a better idea. No grinding required. I might swap mine out.

    the toilet bolt is about 2.5" long so it is long enough to put a slight bend and still have the nut turn off,..I have the external antenna hooked up too and had room between the panel and the ifly to plug it in without drilling a hole for it in the panel
