Avionics
Can't quite believe we are talking Avionics, but we need to start. There are a lot avionics decisions that need to be made well before you are ready to install the boxes. We decided to install an autopilot, which drives early ordering and installation of servo (roll and pitch trim). You really want to install these before you button up areas of the fuselage and wings. Additionally, mounting brackets and cable harnesses can be ordered early...if you know what you are getting for avionics. These can be installed early, awaiting the instrumentation itself. While most would say we are in the dreamer stage, we prefer to believe we are in the planning stage of avionics!
