Thanks. The throttle quadrant goes in easily, like it was designed to fit. Just had to install a couple of nut plates to secure it. I have a Thunderbolt engine with an FM-150, so had to install the supplemental cable plate and hoses. Now, I have to figure out the proper throttle and mixture cable lengths for a quadrant, since the cable plate and fittings were designed for the standard vernier cable lengths.

Where did you get the quadrant?

Here is our final design. There are 2 additional USB ports located under the bottom edge at the midpoint of the screens. These are for the data input and output of the Dynon Touch system. Turned out to be a great location as they are out of the way and don't take additional panel space. We also have Steins replacement circuit breaker panel instead of the standard auto fuses.

The throttle quadrant is the one Van’s sells for the RV-10. You can sometimes find a builder with a new one for sale a little cheaper if they changed their installation plans.

I will be installing the HDX screens in my 14A, one item i would like to include is the separate EMS D120. I like the dedicated engine screen, that way I can use the entire PFD, MFD screens and will not have to toggle the screen to see other engine data. Any experience with the D120?

Rather than adding an older Dynon D120 screen with a different interface and limited (if any) interconnection to the HDX units, why not simply add an extra 7 inch HDX screen and dedicate it to engine monitoring only?

Size is similar and that extra 1 AMU gives you a more up to date technology.

Thanks Gil, that makes sense. I was just try to save a few $$ since I really wanted a dedicated EMS and didn't need the full EFIS.
