I remember see someone had printed or made an enclosure for garmin autopilot control that mounted on top of the glare shield. Is anyones memory better than mine?
 
Pics from this morning. N617AR RV-6.

Here are those pics you requested, sir. Tony Kirk did a 3D print of a housing that I almost put in (it was amazing seeing what Tony came up with just goofing around with his computer). Around that time my friend/mechanic Randy Richmond threw this together in about 30 minutes with some scrap aluminum. Rattle can black and done.

You can click on the pics for versions that are around 4,000 pixels wide. Turned out pretty much like how it is in the sim/jet (pic).

From outside the plexiglass:


Again, from outside:


From inside. The top lip is a little high, but your eyes are below it, honestly, so I really haven’t cared a bit.


Kindest,
Doug
