I'm nowhere near done, but just refining as I go. The MGL Avionics Odyssey is an incredibly versatile instrument and fully programmable, comes with a GPS and both displays are MFDs. Since I am a bit of a computer geek, this appeals to me in a big way. My biggest question will be how it fits in the lightning panel. It IS only 60 mm deep, so that helps. I will be looking and dimensioning at Oshkosh. I hope I will be able to poke my nose in a Lightning or two while I'm there to get a feel for clearances The panel is setup with two Odyssey MFDs, compass, Garman SL-40, Garman GTX 327, TL-3524, Trutrak ADI Pilot II, Airspeed, Val AP100, ELT, and some other stuff. The MGL stuff is very light weight. Jim!. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:29:03 PM PST US From: "John Davis" Subject: RE: Lightning-List: N730AL Panel #3 Jim: I hope you get a chance to look at the support panel around the metal overlay. I would guess that you will have to cut so much of it away the there will be very little left at the 2 upper corners and it may break. But you have to see for your self.

I can move it down some and will give ti a good look before passing on this one. I like everything about it, so if it down not fit, I will go with the Enigma which has the same functionality, yet smaller screen. I'll be starting on my Lightning in a week and a half, so I will be able to see it in real life which is always easier to visualize things. Jim!
