Center consol will go from the fuel selector , and to the
underside of instrument panel.
The vertical part is 12 cm wide.
It holds the b-buss for backup battery and the circuit
breakers for emergency circuit for critical units as ECU, coil pack
and fuel pumps.
Also a separate wired set of circuit breakers for optional
units in the future.

Note; photo montage of how would be whit the Dynon instruments
added.
I have at this point made a cover, fastening whit Velcro that is to
easy remove when is able to order the HS34 and the autopilot AP74
later in the year.

Center consol was
decided to make for some time ago, as I not want to redo any
on the instrument panel. So what I need was the throttle,
pitch, flaps knobs.. as well as some circuit breakers for
the b-bat bus.
Some make a stripe under the all instrument panel for this
type needs.. but I also wanted make ready for the 2 Dynon
EFIS extenders..
So have made cut out
for HS34, that give extra function ,and improved handling of
my D-180 Flightdeck, and also. as Dynon now is prepare to
deliver autopilot for a very reasonable price, that is in
fact controlled of the all ready existing D-180 EFIS, I find
it ws a good idea to make room for this module as well.
If put those unit in the
instrument panel, I would need to redo it complete.
I find the center consol solution to be many benefits , and
it blend in very nice I believe when is finish., also it
makes the overall cockpit looks even more great I believe. |

Center consol |
| Center consol is made in fiber glass. I chose
this material as it is stiff still to hold whit out any
stiffeners at the back side, that would be if made in aluminum.
(or would just have a tick alu plate off course also
possible..., but this was also smooth to make the cut outs.. ,
squared cut-outs isn't the most fast to make in ticker alu
sheets.. as it takes some work to filing it out..haha)
And even is maybe to many layers.. and un needed extra weight
(grams), it was still not so heavy over all, as I cut away a lot
of the plate where the Dynon instruments are to go.
The cover plate is only vinyl stiffed of some tick "paper"
like material..:-)
and fastening whit Velcro at the back side.
