You might consider Becker face mounted coms and xpdr, as well as a PSE
audio panel. They aren't thin rectangles, but they do take up very little
acreage in a square pattern. The VAL all in one VOR/LOC/GS/MB unit puts
the radio behind the indicator, saving more acreage. You can make a tall,
narrow stack with these, among other configurations. Using these radios
I've been able to build a redundant, IFR panel for my -8 with panel space
left over.

I posted this same question on the Vans Airforce forum a few days ago. The
responses I got indicated the seal material should stick up about 1.5
inches upon completion. Im not passing judgement either way, but 1.5
inches is quite a bit different than 4 inches.
Dale, could you tell us how far your seal extended above the baffles
AFTER final trimming? No sense in wasting more material than necessary,
and from what I hear, its not like Van's gives you a surplus to work with.
thanks,

Roger,
The shortest audio panel is no audio panel at all. I bundled all my
audio sources together, with 100 ohm resistors to prevent backfeeding
them, into the intercom. I control the volume of each at the individual
unit. I also split the com 1 audio to a failsafe headset jack in case
the intercom should fail. I have a switch to determine which com radio
transmits when the PTT is pushed. It works great. I think Van refers to
this setup as the poor man's audio panel.
The SL-30 from Garmin is 1.3" tall, IIRC. It is a very capable Nav/Com
which is supported by the Dynon equipment for HSI display. That would
allow you to get by without a Nav head if you want to save the space and
expense of a
3 1/8" round instrument. The SL-30 allows you to monitor the backup com
frequency which is almost like having a second com. It also displays the
bearing to the backup VOR (if tuned and receiving a signal) so it's
almost like having 2 Navs.
There are several 2 1/4" round transponders available, but the SL-70 has
been discontinued, unfortunately.
Another option would be to remake your panel with the oversize panel
from Van's. It's only about $40.
A note on the Dynons. I don't know if redundancy is important to you,
but if you go with the D-180 and a D100, you would have redundant flight
instruments and could save the space of backup steam gauges.
Pax,
Ed Holyoke

Use a reamer in a hand held drill, with lubricant at very low speed. You
can clamp it in a vise with padded jaws. Reams are available at
Cleaveland, Brown, Avery and machine tool dealers.

On my RV-6A, O-360 the baffle material extends up about 1 & 1/8 inch on the
sides and front and 1.5 inches on the back.

Sorry guys, I can't give you a final after triming dimension as mine is not
the same in all location. 4 inches was the STARTING dimension. As I said,
the rubber seals overlap the metal baffle by about 1 inch which leaves 3
inches. From there I trimed to fit. For example, in the corners near the
firewall I used waxed lacing cord to "sew" the corners together after
forming a curve in the corner of the baffle seals to meet the cowl. Here I
probably used the full three inches remaining. In other places, such as
around the front ramps in the top cowl, they are less then 1.5 inches.I did
do more triming after the flying for a few hours when I could see better how
the seals were seating against the cowl.
You can start out with less than 4 inches. You just have less to play with
in the final fit..
I did use Van's baffle kit and had material remaining when I was finished.

I've done 3 sets of baffles (RV-4, RV-7, RV-10) cut them all 3" wide
with about 1.25" below the baffle top and 1.75" above the baffle top.
If you go much thicker, I can't imagine you'd have enough material.
Van's has it calculated down to the square inch it seems.....

| Subject: | Auto Pilot adjustment |
Hi Listers,
When I installed the servo for my auto pilot (trio), I thought I had
neutralized the stick and the servo. When I activate the unit during flight
the stick is moved to the left more than I would let it go. I realize now
that I need to adjust the rod, but how does one get the stick in a neutral
(as in flight) position? Is this going to be a trial and error situation?
For those that have done this, how is the best way to get the servo
connected. I would like to think I can engage it in level flight with the
heading set to my current heading and it will not try to turn me right away?
I at least think it should not more bank me more than a degree or two for
variation in the heading.
Thanks for any help
Tim

ON THE GROUND.... secure the ailerons in the neutral position.
Make any non-powered adjustments and follow the Trio instructions.
Verify proper sensing of the servo (reverse or normal). See the
instructions. I know that it is genetically hard to do but sometimes
overcoming milenia of not reading instructions can be helpful.

The main part of the question Ron was about where is neutral to a degree
accurate enough to set it in this position. I know where neutral is when
flying, but don't know how to mark that for after I land.
Thanks for your comments; I did read the manual however. Maybe a reread is
in order.

Hi Jim
I tried using a reamer in my drill press. Mucked it up pretty well. I went
to my riveting buddy who is an amateur machinist. We used the reamer on a
metal lath. Very slick and perfectly round. However, that was sort of
overkill. The bolt really just needs to be down the bushing, fairly centrally.
The actual bearing surface is the outside of the bushing against the inside of
the bellcrank. So, having a perfectly reamed interior is not really crucial.
What is crucial is that you don't scrape up the exterior of the bushing
while trying to hold it still to ream the interior.

I've used a standard reamer backing it thru the bushing, shaft end first,
then chuck up to something you can turn at hand speed as you back ream the
bushing.
