Yours must be up and running by now, isn't it, Eddie? I'm looking forward to seeing it in all its glory.
I've just been helping a friend of mine with his RV8 and the Dynon Skyview. I have to admit is is very intuitive and we got it all going with the smoke staying inside the wires.....which is a good thing. I was particularly happy with the fuel calibration which showed 39 litres one side and 40 on the other, which was exactly the amount we had poured in and taken out etc. I just hope all the other readings prove as accurate
No Paul, It should be but I postponed my wiring harness. AS&S got a new electrical shop and a new laser wire etcher and so I asked them to wait on my harness until they are using the laser. They were supposed to have it done last week but as of yet, I have not heard anything. I expect to hear from them today. I was not in a great hurry to get onto the wiring since I had a lot of other things I could build. But, now the airplane is finished except wiring.

From what I've seen of the standard of your build you should have done it yourself. If I can do it then anyone can. A few gold pins and a crimper is all you need. I didn't even need to terrify anyone with my sub-standard soldering Admittedly the wires are not laser etched but they do have printed shrink tubing to identify the equipment.
Revival of a 4 year old thread…. Why the heck not?!
Nice!
With a little less real estate compared to the later model KFs, the newer style instruments fit very well.
I do like the grey panel background.

Raw aluminum panels are the way to go!
Not quite reality yet, but should be soon... it is in production at Midwest Panel Builders.
G3X, GNX 375, remote GTR 20 and GMA 245R, G5 for backup, and GMC 507 autopilot. Power handled by a VPX-Pro. And an Airtex 345 ELT in the back. Oh and all labels are back lit.

That is a "one of a kind" instrument panel and backlit to boot. Serious stuff there Mike! Very Nice!
