And then another 7 lbs of alternator H/W and about 4 lbs of Whelen strobe/lights/power supply. That sleek piece in the lower left is one of the 6 oz AEROLED Nav/Strobe units replacing the Whelens.

The GRT Sport has arrived and almost all the instruments have been set in their panels. This is a test fit. It was necessary to adjust the big opening in the main for clearance of some of the various instruments.

Here's a decent picture of the new panel all lit up. As far as I can tell, everything works now. I still need to set up the GRT Sport SX, MicroAir 760 Radio and MicroAir T2000 Transponder.

I had some maple veneer from another project which came in handy to cover the sheet aluminum plates. I think it's much more attractive than painted aluminum.
