Adding GTN650 to existing Dynon Skyview panel

Megs4sale

Well Known Member
I just pirchased a VFR RV8 with the D1000 Skyview and am having difficulties finding the real estate to add a GTN650 to go IFR. Anyone have any innovative panels that accomplish that and could share some pics? The final panel would have the D1000, a GRT Mini to the far left and surrounded by the vertical Dynon comm, audio, autopilot and control knob panels. Appreciate your advice!
 
A few quick finds:

Anyone that has problems finding real estate on a RV-8 panel, just needs to talk with Matt Dralle. Here's his panel.

Here's a way to do it. Left half of the Skyview screen is centered on e pilot for split screen. All controls are available to pilot's left hand (right hand on stick). Standard non -1 RV-8 center panel.

 
This is an RV-8 with two AF-5600T 10.4" EFIS screens and an Avidyne IFD-440

Please feel free to give me a call to discuss the Avidyne IFD vs the GTN-650, I have both in my RV-10.

We have sold a lot of the Avidynes and can help you with it.

Thanks all. Up North Aviation cut a panel somewhat similar to what Jesse Saint posted. Bill there did a great job and helped alot with my mental design block.
