    Very nice practical panel! I really like that i-pad to 375 to g3x system, it's nice, simple and straight forward. You've really expanded what the plane can do and it'll do it safely!

      Thanks! Much better deal on the G3X when it's experimental (as you know). No regrets spending the extra money.

    I have panel envy now. You have a lot more than my little 152's panel has. The only interesting thing on my panel is the little gauge that show how fast I am pedaling. Is there anything on your panel that tells you where to find a good restaurant after you land?

    • @quinnjim
      @quinnjim  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I look that stuff up online. The avionics panel doesn't really check what restaurants are available. Foreflight is a good way to go to figure that out.

    Beautiful panel. I just did mine in my RV9. What mount did you use for the iPad? Is it a Ram mount with a suction cup or did you screw the base into the panel?

    • @quinnjim
      @quinnjim  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It’s called a “pivot mount”. We use them at my airline. Great product. Very secure. I bought a mount that bolts on to the panel. You can also get suction cup mounts. The iPad clicks securely into place and releases easily.

    WOW! The last time I flew was in 1984 and I never even had DME, this really changed since then. Eight years ago I had a stroke, so I guess I wouldn’t be able to fly again and I miss it so much. I’m thinking about getting an instructor for an hour and tell him I have over 800 hours and if he’s cool enough to let me fly, what would you think about it? You are a great instructor so I’m wondering if it’s possible?

    • @quinnjim
      @quinnjim  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Definitely go fly. A good instructor will let you fly most of the flight!

      We have had this plane for 18 months. We still have the 177 (for when 2 seats isn't enough, and for flight training).

    Hey Jim, great panel! I have an RV-7 and am contemplating a panel upgrade similar to yours. Did you do the work or did you hire someone? How much did all of this cost?

    • @quinnjim
      @quinnjim  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I hired a guy. $48K plus the old radios I traded in to him. That also included the condition inspection, a couple new tires and a flap motor.

      @quinnjim  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That is an excellent motto! I really battled with adding the NAV/COM for the VOR/ILS. 99% of my flying will be GPS. I decided to not have any regrets leaving something out.

    Are those dry transfers for the lettering on the switches and such?

    • @quinnjim
      @quinnjim  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I believe so. We ordered a sheet for over $200 (to get exactly what we wanted). One of the stickers was defective and came apart when my mechanic took it off the sheet. We called the company and they wanted another $200 to reprint the sheet for that one defective sticker. Kind of frustrating. We ended up fixing it another way.
