Hey Group,
I really want to get my 7 in the air this next spring. All that is left is to button up firewall forward and panel.
I have about 10k of my glass panel but need to invest another 11k to get it finished.
That will take over a year.
So,
I am considering doing a basic steam gauge panel for now with a BOM as back up.
No auto pilot.
Then fly and certify it.
Once it is certified and I have had some fun and have the rest of the glass panel built, take wings off. Bring home for panel then take it to the shop for paint.
Re assemble it at the hanger and call it good.
Advice is appreciated,.
I could put the rest of the panel on a credit card but I do not like owing money on Credit cards.. ouch.
