So Alex can you make those for sale? I assume they are pretty light. Can one order specific sizes? -------- W.R.

I will probably park the plane in front of homebuilt HQ. The sketch I sent is just a rough sketch from memory, the dimensions may need some adjustment. N61BM has a polished aluminum finish.

From: "Gig Giacona" I once again am not going to be able to attend. But rumor has it that Garmin is going to have a new toy on display. Please somebody get the specs and post them. I was told by somebody who should know to NOT make the panel cut out for a 496 until after OSH. This tells me that the new toy might have a better screen and a different form factor. -------- W.R.

Are these gauges supposed to be part of the kit, (I cannot find them and do not see them listed in the kit packing list)? * Is it more reliable to run the fuel tank and fuel sender ground wires directly to the ground buss vs. grounding them to the airframe, (I am priming all faying surfaces so I am concerned about a poor ground)? * Does anyone know if the VDO fuel senders will work for anything other than the VDO fuel gauges? Will they work with any EIS systems?

(At least not mine.) I used local grounds and they work well. The senders work well with the Dynon D180.
