Subject: Why not a hinged panel?

The only visible evidence that things were different were the piano
hinges, just visible beside the radios.


Dang, Dan, that's EXACTLY what I want.

I wonder if the new glass panels in Pipers (with the Avidyne system)
and
Cessnas (with the Garmin stuff) have some easier way to get at the
back-side
of things? Since they had to re-design the whole panel for the
displays, I
sure hope they took this into account.

I bet not. It would cost too much and require the hoses and wiring to
be suitably restrained to avoid fouling the control column, yet
moveable to allow the panels to open. Works well on stick airplanes.
Which, incidentally, are REAL airplanes, especially if they have
the little wheel in back (I'm ducking...).
