Panel & Harness by Experimental Aviation Geeks, LLC
Panel - The panel is a work of art. It is etched to allow for filled (painted) lettering, finished off in Suede and silver & black anodized parts. In a nod to days gone by, a SIRS Pegasus (lit) Compass and Quartz Electric Aircraft clock (also lit) provide a bit of a nostalgic feel to the panel, while at the same time providing useful utility.
She features a full IFR Garmin G3Xx2 touch screen equipped panel with a GTN-750 (GPS/NAV/COM) with traffic, weather and terrain. The details: a GDU-465 (with Sirius XM), a GDU-460, two GSU-25s, a GAD-27, a GAD-29, aGTR-20, a GTX-45R, a GMA-35, a GMC-507, two GEA-24s (with two accompanying GSA-28 servos) fed by a Garmin heated pitot tube (with AOA), and anodized ball vents that make the cabin comfortable. This remarkable suite of Garmin components fully integrate dual ADAHRS for IFR flying confidence. She also has panel-accessible twin 700 watt electric heaters and a four camera “Safety of Flight” video system which includes three state-of-the-art bullet cameras and a FLIR PathFindIR® camera.
At the heart of 535 are twin certified Concorde 24v batteries. Circuit protection is provided by Vertical Power’s VPX-Pro, mounted on the canard for ease of access. Driving the electrical system are twin 150A Plane Power alternators that enable full bus power off of one alternator, should either alternator fail entirely! Additional features include Smart Glide, ADSB in and out, seat heaters, a Guardian panel mounted CO detector, both Bose headphone & standard headphone jacks for the pilot + three occupants, Garmin push-to-command, multiple USB ports, and finally, stick-accessed auto-trim round out this exceptional setup.
Harness - The pro-built wiring harness was initially constructed on a measurement-accurate, out-of-plane backbone allowing for exact wire lengths to be determined & cut prior to installation into N535EG. This multi-step build process allowed for not only the creation of perfect one-foot service loops at each LRU, but also for each & every wrap, guide & tie to be evenly spaced and perfectly bundled with no stresses or extreme bends. Finally, the harness was coupled with the all panel components, bench & stress tested, all while still on the backbone.
