So, I've been putting this off, but I have to get started with my panel. Frankly, I feel very intimidated by it all! So, I figured I would ask for all y'alls experience on what are probably some very basic questions for most of ya! Basically, I don't know where to begin. Here are my questions:
Sorry for the generic questions, but as you can tell, I really don't know where to begin. Unlike the airframe build, there is really no step by step guidance in this part!
Thank you so much! See below for equipment:
1 - Garmin G3X Touch GDU460 (leaving space to add a second later)
GTX23ES Remote mount transponder
GTR200 Comm
26C Internal mount GPS antenna
GSA28 Auto pilot servos
GMU44
Leaving space in the middle to later mount a IFR Navigator
RV7 - Tip Up
IOX370 from Titan being built with EFII Ignitions and Fuel Injection
- I need to buy wire. I am guessing for the EFIS and its components, I need 18 ga. Should I just buy a few 100' roles of various colors? If so, I am seeing the best price on SteinAir. Any other wire I should buy to get started?
- What is the sequence you guys installed the avionincs? Did you just cut out the panel for your main EFIS then start installing around it?
- What/Where did you get your circuit breakers and switches?
- What/Where did you get your bus bars?
- What other miscellaneous electrical parts should I buy to get started?
- Can I run 18 ga to the auto pilot servos and the GMU44 if it is located in the tail?
- Any other words of wisdom you can give me?
