Panel Discussion: Cessna 180 Upgrades on Poor Webjanitor Budget

[Farmboy]

This is a 185F, but something to tease owners with.
In a perfect world it would have a GTN750/650 combo and full Garmin EIS instead of the EDM but this is pretty nice.

Here’s a layout for the next 180A project.

G5 / G3X / GTN650 / GTX345

Customer wants to keep a 4 pack of steam gauges.

Bonus points if you can tell me what I use the bungee cord for!

I’d love to dump the vacuum system with a couple of those, but just can’t swing it at the moment. Maybe next year!

I have a very low time as-removed Vac Pump from mine if you want a spare.

Well into the 180A upgrade.

Im guessing a G5 goes into the small hole adjacent to the steam gauges.
What goes into the larger rectangular holes (center & right)?
And the two rectangular holes down in the glove box area?

G5 centered, G3X to the right since it won’t fit over the yoke.
Short radio stack to the right with a GTN650 over a GTX345.
Remote GMA245R audio panel and GTR20 com will be controlled via G3X.
Full EIS on the G3X.

Left and right openings are cubbys instead of glove box. Left side has a USB port inside.

I had just cut the aluminum so this was just another test fit before prepping for Powdercoat.
