1958 Cessna 182A Panel Upgrade - In Progress

[mpfef98]

I have 2 partners in a 1958 Cessna 182A and we've got a panel upgrade in progress - I thought I'd share a little info and some pictures while its being completed.

Here's what we're having installed:

2 7" Skyview HDX screens
D10A Backup Instrument
Avidyne IFD-440
Bendix King AeroCruze 100 Autopilot
PS Engineering PAR200B Audio Panel/COM Radio

The plane was VFR only and more or less original before we got it. Here's a few pictures of the before and just recently when the avionics shop ripped out the instruments. I'll try to update as things progress.

Slow progress, but this is the final panel design for our 182A.

Took it out to fly some practice approaches today, worked great. Good to see all the parts working together.

would you be willing to share your CAD file from this project? I’m currently in the process of a similar project on my 182A. Would greatly appreciate it!
