    I have located the GMU using the bracket Stein provides, on the 2nd bulkhead back from the baggage, the one where the static port is close to. This puts it far enough away from the battery and the elev trim servo. There are lots flying this way with no issues. My GSU is mounted on a stiff tray I fabricated from .062 that spans the instrument panel to the subpanel on the right as close to the right side as possible. It is extremely stiff at that location. The pitot static will go through the sub-panel using 90 deg. elbows. I would not mount it on the tunnel or close to the firewall due to possible heat issues and acess.

    If the FCC continues its boneheaded ways, they will have to turn Loran back on. However, Lightsquared's approvals date back before the current administration. The FCC is allegedly an independent commission, so politics role is so far speculative, and not worthy of discussion here. If one discusses politics, all building stops, and there will be no more RV grins..........so go bang some rivets and shed any frustrations with making the next most perfect airplane. ;-) On Sun, Sep 25, 2011 at 6:46 AM, Chris Hukill <cjhukill@cox.net> wrote: > The MB and ADF may not be obsolete as soon as GPS if Obamas sponsor > Lightsquare gets their way! >

    Stein and Bill - thanks for the info and photos. I'll put the magnetometer in the aft fuselage area as Stein suggests. It helps to know that it works well there. I like Bill's AHRS mounting and will do something similar. I am also installing a 3 screen system. My reasons are to have two in front of the pilot (one to aviate, one to navigate/WX/ etc.) and one in front of the co-pilot so it can be flown from the right seat. An unrelated factor was that the price reduction on the G3X allowed me to get 3 screens for a lot less $ than a 2 screen GRT or AFS. -------- Dave Moore RV-6 flying RV-10 QB - Need to start panel Rest almost done Breathing too much fiberglass dust Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=353190#353190

    I would be interested to know what a G3X costs vs the GRT and AFS (At the same functionality) Does the G3X have engine instrumentation? Do you have to pay an annual subscription for map updates? I am not familiar with anything other than the AFS. I know things change faster than one can build a panel. But a real point in time comparison with the features would be interesting!
