G500 panel

Chimbu thanks, yes been in touch with GR several times and received several photo's. Exactly what I want. Getting new LHS panel cut out so I can plan better. The sub-panel may go in soon though. I'm still away off and actual radio options may change by then too I guess. I have a full scale drawing made up of the pilot's panel as a draft, like EFB, it makes the new layout very simple. Can't wait.

Nice thing about the G430/530 radio is that I've found a source that are replacing existing like install's with the new G650/750 touch screen units. So with some lead time, I might be able to get hold of some quality used main radio's to feed the 500.

Wings have arrived at a separate workshop with a good jig last Monday, they will be opened up and reviewed, hoping there is no major deal there. I have a spare set of wings I possibly can use for parts. If not, they are for sale. So by June, I plan that all the metal work should be done with the cabin up to a stage that the floor is back down.
