Avionics Panel; More Flap Mechanism; Insulation; Engine, Fuel Line & Brakes Lines Purchases; Avionics Research

August 15th, 22nd, 29th, August 4th, 12th, 19th 48h

I researched avionics, I decided to go for a combination of Dynon and Garmin, since I already have some Dynon parts based on my original reasoning for VFR only. Now that I decided to go for IFR, I ended with a mix, since the IFR navigator has to be Garmin. I contacted both AFS and Stein Air. I received better quotes from AFS.

I researched and bought the engine, I ended up selecting the Lycomyn IO360. I also ordered the fuel and brake lines.

Installed the insulation.

A little more work with the electrical Flap Mechanism.

Fitted, drilled, debured, and primed the avionics panel parts.
