<p>I've got a rat's nest in my avionics bay. Figuratively of course.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I'm thinking that I will trace the critical lines coming from the wings and cut out all of the old EIS wires and leave all wires going to switches and breakers/fuses or possibly even start over with them. I have all new digital instruments and a new 6000 EIS for my Corvair engine, with the ancient TERRA transponder being the only thing I left from the previous build. </p>

<p>I plan to gut the FWF electrical in the engine bay and start anew also. My goal is to clean this up and tidy up the avionics bay. I have all-new harnesses for every instrument I purchased to make it much less complex, but snipping old wires can be a challenge at first. One thing I learned working on my 1930 Model A Ford, is that ANYTHING you mess up can be fixed.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Any ideas if you've tried to start fresh with re-wiring? </p>

<p>FlightDock is made from powder-coated laser-cut aluminum and can safely hold and cool any 9.7", 10.5", 11", or 12.9" iPad model. (Not the iPad Mini.)</p>
<p>The cooling system is thermally controlled, blowing a constant stream of air at low volume when things are cool, and blasting the iPad at high speed when things get hot.</p>
<p>The mount includes a fixed bottom rail and a sliding top rail. The entire assembly mounts on the front of the panel using standard #6 screws. No giant, precision cuts are required.</p>
<p>The fan mounts in a standard 3 1/8" instrument hole and is powered by 14v ship's power.</p>
<p>FlightDock includes pre-drilled mounting holes for our FlightBar (the knobs and buttons add-on).</p>

<ul>
<li>Lower fixed bracket</li>
<li>Upper sliding bracket</li>
<li>Mounting hardware</li>
<li>80mm PWM cooling fan</li>

<p>Complete system, includes tray, indicator, GPS antenna, manuals, and bench power unit. With the OBS indicator (included) this unit is suitable for IFR approaches. Data base is up to date and everything worked perfectly when removed from my club 172 in December.</p>
<p></p>
<p>We removed it because we wanted to standardize our fleet and got a great deal on a Garmin 430W. I think all you need to install is know how, wire, and a com antenna. Connectors are all there.</p>
