What do you think of my proposal photo for mounting avionics in my Sonex Xenos electric motor glider?E5CA9B3D-EB5C-4E54-9AE8-70E5CB8AF046.jpeg
ADVANTAGES
  1. Flightbox Pro (from Falken Avionics) - Square orientation for better calibration.
  2. ADC (Air Data Computer) - Magnetometer isolated from all electrics. Since this is an electric aircraft, I want the magnetometer isolated from the 50KW motor and electronics up front.
  3. Hinge - Panel for XPDR, COM, GPS, Fuse box and USB Hub. Hinge swings down for easy maintenance.
  4. Only two wires will run to the front of the Aircraft: 12 volt DC Power, 5.1 amps and PTT - Push to Talk switch
  5. No messy wires - Headset jacks behind pilot.
  6. Easy mounting of XPDR, COM and GPS antennas.
  7. Good wifi signal to iPad.
  8. Declutter instruments panel, for a Tesla-like look. ( Simple User Interface)
