I've done almost exactly this. I've never modified the center rib in any way, but
the outboards I've modified like Tim did.
Do not archive.

I can't imagine the press would ever screw up a quote.
<sarcasm off>
My guess is the wife said something along the lines of "Every piece is
built (just like they do at) Boeing or Cessna.

| Subject: | Obstruction behind instrument panel |
It's very common to modify the structure behind the panel within reason.
The ribs and sub panel are all candidates for modification, but that doesn't
mean you just "remove material" and call it good. With any aircraft
structure from a cub to a 747, if you remove material you traditionally need
to add back material in order to give said structure it's load bearing
capacity. If you remove in one place, you add in another. There are a
number of ways to modify the ribs and still keep the structural integrity of
the entire assembly in place, but it's also not a one size fit's all
solution. The center rib from where the center brace attaches is a place
that is difficult to do any reasonable modification. That said, all of the
ribs between the sub panel and the main panel can be changed in differing
ways (depending on your situation) to allow for avionics, efises, etc.. to
be installed and still keep everything good. I'd encourage you to decide
what is going in there, then decide what/where you need to modify and
consult with someone before just jumping in. That doesn't mean you have to
hire a structural engineer, but have a 2nd set of eyes from someone who
knows structure pretty well and you'll be good!
Just my 2 cents as usual.
Cheers,
Stein

Subject: RV10-List: Obstruction behind instrument panel
It appears that certain large screen EFIS will not fit behind the instrument
panel due to the several structural elements that are in the way. Has anyone
come up with a solution or a method for cutting these down without
compromising the airframe?

Can anybody offer insight into flying into Granby, CO in the summer?

Well, the passes from the west are over 10,000 ft, from the east you are
looking at over 13,000. While it might be ok for RV-10, it violates my
personal high altitude airport general rule of runway length equals
elevation or better(think twice and calculate carefully if that condition
isn't met). I've been in and out of Steamboat Springs and Aspen, but not
Granby.
