Angled Panel Mounts

[Birddog]

Hello All,

I have an RV7 with 2 x Skyview HDX panels and I was wondering if anyone knows of a kit, or a way to angle the screen on the right to be angled toward the pilot. I didn't install them, it was purchased this way, but it would make using the right hand screen WAY more easier than it is now.

Any info you can provide would be awesome!

Regards
J

I don't know of any kit, but it would be fairly simple to build an angled bezel, as long as nothing behind the panel is in the way.

Yeah - I am thinking someone with a 3D printer and some 3d printing skills could probably knock one up. I have neither! LOL!

Same here. I usually work in metal.

I have seen a couple planes with a 3D printed bezel that the HDX mounts onto, but I don't have a file or know who produces them.

I assume you are looking for something like this panel. The Glasairs have been using these for 25+ Years. They are sold as the vision micro panel. It is made of fiberglass with aluminum inserts. I am sure you could find one for sale on the Glasair owners group or direct from Glasair. You will likely have to adjust the dimension to fit the RV. Also note the SFD (backup display-D-100) area is not wide enough to mount the small HDX-800. So, that area will have to be adjusted.

Hmm.. I don't want to replace the entire dash. Just angle the screen itself. But - yes - angled at the pilot makes a lot more sense.

Something like this? This is for the HDX -1100, will tilt the display 1 inch.

OH YEAH!!! THAT'S the shizzle!!!

Looks good. How does it attach to the panel?

 

[Birddog]

And how soon can I get one?

LOL! Looks like you got a sale, Kurt!
