Next to paint scheme (which I'm still thinking about) what to do here was one 
of the biggest decisions.  I haven't flown yet, so I don't know if what I have

done is right yet.
So far I have a Dynon EFIS, but I backed it up with a steam ASI, AI, T&B 
(although electric), compass and clock.
I think I will be glad that I got rid of the vacuum and put a second alternator

in it's place.
One thing that I didn't expect is all the wiring involved.  I think I've spent

about 200 hours just wiring (I think about double that thinking about it).  
It's amazing with these new boxes how everything can tie together.  I have a 
CNX80, and it accepts inputs from just about everything else including the fuel

computer.  My plane appears to have more wire in it than metal!  Each time I 
think I have it all worked out, something else pops up (like a new version of 
the Dynon).

If you have the Panel Planner software, I can e-mail you what I have done 
offline.

Regards,
Jeff
