59 Piper PA-24-250 Comanche Panel Ideas?

[adamkhan]

I'm getting ready to upgrade my whole instrument panel to the 10" HDX System. Please share any ideas, suggestions & pictures. Thank you.

I had Ron and John's Comanche service make a panel for dual 7" HDX screens for my Comanche. The spacing is pretty tight between the top of the yoke and the glareshield for a 10" display. As I recall, the 10" would barely fit, but I decided on two 7" screens. I have the left screen centered on the control column, with PFD and EMS. The second screen is to the right next to the radio stack, used as MFD/map. I sent John a sketch of what I wanted, he drew it up, then had it cut. Cost about $900.

The existing panel is structural, so a STC is required for the replacement panel.

My '63 already had the center radio stack, so it was a little simpler than for a '59, but they can do a '59 as well.

I will try to get photos and drawings posted for you.

Panel test cut, only a few more minor changes but this will be the idea.
