July 6, 2007 - Panel: Mount Stack |
||||||
| Here I'm drilling the Stack mounting angles. I used the drill-press and "fence" because it's important for the rivet line to be straight, as it will be visible on the panel. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
Once the angles were drilled, I backdrilled them to the panel.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| Trail-fitting the Stack components -- again. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
From the rear. The mounting trays fit between the mounting angles
just right.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| Now to drill the holes in the angle for each rack. I started with the AirGizmo. Again, I used the Dan Checkoway method. With the AirGizmo mount in place, I used a sharpie from the inside, through the mounting hole, to mark the angle. In this image, you can see the two circular markings. I did this for both sides, then took everything apart. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| I drilled the four holes in the angles, then put everything back together. This time the AirGizmo mount has screws installed, as shown below. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| I followed the same process with the next item down the stack -- the SL-60 Comm/GPS. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
Then the GTX-327 transponder on the bottom.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| Everything came out nicely. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
I couldn't resist putting the Dynon in and admiring the panel. I'm
pleased with how the panel looks so far.
