Very nice. I'd like to upgrade my Skyview 7" Classic screens to HDX, but just can't justify the expense right now. My old eyes have to squint to read the 7" displays, and I've heard the 7" HDX may be "less" readable for some reason too. I didn't have room for 2 10" displays.

Is your oil cooler shutter electrically controlled? If so, what components were used?

Hi,
I'd like to know as well, thanks. Any chance you could post some photos?
Much appreciated,

I didn’t build it but it is electrically controlled. When I pull the cowl I’ll post some pictures. Brad Hood was the builder. He’s on here.
Nice, what are you using as a throttle grip? That looks really cool!

3D Stick & Rudder
From a pilot for pilots, this site is devoted to providing turn key solutions for your stick and throttle. The site provides throttle grip overlays for Vans RV-8/8A experimental aircraft.

This is what I’m using. Smoke switch on the throttle and the lower is a PTT for com 2.
The screen on the left is an Ifly740 running the IflyEFB software, that can send flight plans to the dynon.
The one on the right is a Garmin Aera 660.
Soon there will be a Garmin 430 just below dynon very soon.

OK, so the Rocket isn’t even close to flying yet, but I like to work on interiors and panels and get them done while I still have great access to everything. Finished cutting and fitting everything in the panel this afternoon - painting done, labels to come.

Looking good Paul!!
Perihelion Designs - he’s got a web site and has been supplying them to homebuilders as well as space companies for years.

You could hold a contest , guess the function/name for each switch
That's why you didn't label them. Assume those future CBs on the right as well as above? Not sold on SSES?

Thanks for this. Gives me a little hope I won't OCD on something else as it's not too noticeable at least in your picture.
That said, why TF are the bezel depths seemingly different of every Garmin device?
