That said, yes, it is VERY solid, ergonomically comfortable, works very smooth, etc. The two lever TQ (I don't know about the three lever) from DJM Manufacturing like I have works out great. It clears the radio stack as located by my Affordable Panels panel. I really like where I located the flap switch (to the right of the TQ) and the carb heat (to the left of the quadrant) because on a go-around I can push the carb heat in with my thumb, move the throttle up with the palm of my hand, and toggle the flaps up with my index finger all in one move. Here's a good picture of what I'm talking about: http://www.repucci.com/bill/panel/hand%20on%20throttle.jpg. As a piper driver, you would really like this setup. BTW, I have over 30 hours on the -9 and am heading to the airport today. With luck I will finish all my testing between today and tomorrow. I never realized how exhausting doing five hours of take-off's and lands could be. There is not much left on my test cards. Gotta run, those hours don't fly themselves off.

Is it pretty solid? Is the location installed ergonomically comfortable?

Scroll down and you will how I did it. Needless to say, the three level quadrant is a little wider than my two lever. If you are going to set your -7 up for IFR, I highly recommend going with the Affordable Panel's panel, like I did. (http://www.affordablepanels.com/index1.htm) This will make future maintenance (and upgrades) much easier.

I flew 6.1 hours today and I can't even begin to imagine how you sat in your -8 long enough to hit every public use airport in NC! The good news is I only have 3.8 hours left of Phase I and then I can give Nora a ride. With luck, the weather will hold out and I finish Phase 1 on Monday and give Nora that ride in the afternoon.

Wow! How many laps around your circle was that?

That was very informative. I really liked seeing the pictures. I think I may use the quadrant as well.
