My avionics:  I plan to put the minimum of avionics in the plane.  Most KR2's I have looked at have panels that leave little leg room and I am a big guy in a small plane already so cockpit layout and space are a big deal for me.  

2/10/12  I have developed my own annunciator to interface with the AN-21 unit.  Click HERE

1/14/12  Today I discovered Flight Data Systems website.  I will be using their annunciator panel and audio panel.

1/10/12  Part of my new fuel system calls for a 60 minute timer to alert me when it's time to transfer fuel from my aux tanks to the mains.  Its a simple circuit based on the CD4060 chip and was easy to build.  I will tie it into the annunciator panel to give me an audible alert too.

Being a retired USAF avionics tech I like to get a little deeper into this part than most folks.  So my fuel quantity system will be a capacitive system designed by RST Engineering.

My electrical system will be built around the EXP100-2v DC load center
ordered on 5/16/11
*******************************************************************************
Air Fuel Ratio gauge will be installed on RH exhaust.  A bung will be added to LH exhaust for future use but plugged.

2/13/2011  Started installing my instruments today





******************************************************************************
2/11/2011  Mounted the small panel today










******************************************************************************
2/5/2011  Cut my panel today from 1/4" birch plywood.  It has a dark chocolate brown laminate on it and will have a thin aluminum panel on the back side








******************************************************************************

  1/12/2011  Main panel arrived today  HERE  The panel was expertly cut using a waterjet by Matt @ www.li2co.us

1/3/2010  This is very close to my final design.  The panel is an aluminum shock mounted panel that is 1/2" fwd of the main panel.  Click HERE

12/29/2010 Changed my mind and I am going with an old style shock mounted panel.  Now the issue is the instrument layout.
