Dynon Panel Install Episode #16 - Glen's Hangar 

I am also not convinced touch screens are "the one true way" for everything. In addition to being difficult to use in bouncy situations, they just stay dirty/greasy. I would hate trying to look at my instruments in bright sun with a bunch of fingerprints on it.

The amount of progress on the plane in such a short period of time is fantastic! Dynon obviously has it going on, and it’s good you are showcasing their equipment. Looking forward to your first trip!

I'm surprised how good the gray looks on that panel, it looks really modern and clean!

Love the contrast between the classic aircraft and the 21st century technology.

just recently found your channel and got caught up yesterday. well done, this is in my opinion a perfect pace for a restoration series. and of course, everything looks beautiful

The paint job looks fantastic!

That panel looks amazing and even though it's nearly 60 years newer than the airframe it doesn't look out of place at all! Congratulations!

This has been a really cool journey to watch and be apart of!

Aww man, such a fun build. Thanks for ride!

Hey Glen, as an electronic technician just an FYI, dirty cooling fans are the leading cause of component failure. Put cleaning them on your to do list a minimum of once a year.

Thank you so very much for sharing I’m this adventure.

All we have have to do next is convince Glen to get another aircraft to work on when this is finished!

Very jealous of that panel! Looks great!

This is turning out to be such an interesting series. Thank you so much Glen for taking the extra time to document it and sharing it!

Love your cooking channel and love this channel even more! Please keep making great content!

wow -- huge episode. one major step forward in getting flying again! the grey panel makes a lot of sense -- contrast between panel and instrument will especially help in night flights (all-black panels can "absorb" the less lit-up instruments to my eyes), and grey always looks clean and dust-free. the cable mass reminded me of working waist-deep in Navy P-3 avionics bays decades ago..

Do a survey, I bet most people want a button, a tactile device. As I work in automotive, they were on there way to full touch panels in some models of the brand I work on, eliminating a simple volume button. Thankfully after some market research they put the volume knob back on the panel. Though I still enjoy the look and function of steam gauges and the mechanical parts of them I realize moving to digital screens is a good thing for some. Great series so far.

Enjoy your videos!

Really interesting project. Thanks for bringing us along.

Really enjoyed watching the progress on the plane. Looking forward to your future air adventures.

What a great feeling when you spend hours wiring up a computer or electronics device and it boots up first try, well done!

In my maintenance department I work at we have a saying: "Don't kill the job". It's basically that it's better to do the job right than to do the job right now. That sky net cable being too big or small just reminded me of that and good on you for doing what you feel is right for your plane! It looks awesome 😎 love this series please keep at it.

First seconds could hardly be more canadian: having to move the Timmy out of the way lol

So exciting to see this baby reborn. Can't wait for her maiden.

Glen, ADSB was active for 30 minutes! A great start to the new adventure.

Glen, I can't tell you how much I look forward to these vlogs! Thank you for sharing your experience!

Wow! That looks way better than my '62 172C panel

Thanks for the series. I’m living vicariously through these videos. I’ve always wanted to pilot my own plane. Unfortunately, could never afford either time or money, sometimes both. I was fortunate enough to fly over 1000 hours as an observer in a rotor wing. Thanks

That panel came out great! Looks like the old girl's really coming together. She's going to be one fine bird when you're all done!

Christmas morning?! Glen....beautiful! The grey is awesome. Very cool.

I completely agree with your preference for tactile buttons. That Dynon HDX looks great!

Glen, I envy you! I would love to do exactly what you're doing! Your "new" Cessna will be a very impressive example! Love that new panel!

That’s a good look at airplane

All I think of when I see your registration is Fuel Metering Valve lol. Loving consistent content from both channels :)

Very cool! Looking forward to the calibration process and seeing everything coming together.

That's a great looking panel! We are enjoying watching your restoration journey. Your paint and polish scheme is also really nice too! Oh! And the mixing of the regular speed working sounds with the speed up work is a nice touch.

Hi Glen, although it is not finished yet, it really looks great and already starting to be complete. Congratulations with the accomplishment so far!

Awesome panel. Looks amazing.

I *LOVE* it when a package arrives!! Great job, Glen!

Looks great, Glen! I also agree re: touch-screens. I have a 3/4 ton van RV and even bouncing around on the highway can make it difficult to tap the GPS screen without another finger on a side of the unit as an anchor point. I would find real buttons for "volume up", "volume down" and "shut up now" very helpful. ;)

It's always exciting to see a new update. Panel looks great

Nice panel layout. I flown six different airliner semi glass and glass cockpits with brown green and grey panels. The grey panel is the best all around. You obviously put a lot of thought in to ergonomics and possible future upgrades. Nice job.

Can’t wait to see her fly.

That panel looks mint. Totally agree on the tactile switches.

I'm looking forward to seeing the finished panel!

Looks great, impressed with the Dynon gear so far. Looking forward to seeing more of its set up. Love the panel colour, my have to “borrow” that when I get to doing mine. Keep up the good work 👋🇬🇧

The plane is looking great (I love the red and chrome). It is kind of weird that I found you when i was learning how to make my own beer, and then further my cooking knowledge. Then being an Av Geek myself there you were again... Love the videos, your commitment is very admirable..

That content around the 7:00 mark was real _riveting stuff_ Glen... Cheers,

Great video - makes a Friday extra special.

I put in a Realistic brand under-dash 8-track player in my car in 1977. So basically I could wire an airplane too. :P J/K Looking good Glen!

Looks great! Keep up the good work.

Awesome series Glen.

I agree on tactile buttons vs touchscreen.

Nice hat. I've got one just like it. 😉

More great, hard work!

You’re doing a great job.

Love the look of the panel. Looks exactly like the panels in the Apollo CM and Space Shuttle. Fitting as this was (presumably) in production right around the same time as their flights!

No, it's not just you who prefers buttons in bumpy environments. Touch screens are nice but not when you're in turbulence or crossing ditches or fighting rough trails.

Yahooooooo!

Myself, I would have gotten the USB port installed right next to the registration number above the display. And also a cap to keep it covered when not in use.

I hit "like" in the first 32 seconds.

ooooooooo a 252 Mooney in the background!!

Looking great! Nice to see it all coming together.

What did Chris drop at Time stamp 3:55, he ends up crawling around looking for it and your camera angle caught it! Amazing.

Glen, How can you resist and not throw it together and go for a fly? I mean engines on, controls work and now with avionics it's real and a thing again lol. You far more disciplined than me, I would be like, "I will tie those up later and I know how much fuel I got lets got try this out" haha. It's coming along breathing with life, and -35? these video's must be a couple week behind.

This has come along so well! You've put a lot of time and effort into this, what'll you do when it's done?

Every day is Christmas day.

Personally, I wouldn't have rivited the panel to the frame if at all possible. Bolts would have been easier to remove in the future if you needed to expand or change anything.

Plane and panel are looking great. I would love to talk to you about the dynon system as I’m thinking of doing a dynon panel in a plane I’m building.

Don't forget the ethernet cable that goes between the 2 displays.

Plug and play has always been plug and pray in my experience...

I am assuming that every single one of those plugs follows the USB third try to get it in the right orientation rule.

Wow! That looks great! When is the first flight?

Apollo panel

It looks like a large portion of the original stationary panel was removed near the center stack location - this would be considered a major modification by the FAA. Is this treated differently on Canadian aircraft?

Are You installing "wheel pants "when everything is said and done?.Greetings from Erlanger Kentucky.

I work in an industry that is increasingly going to touch screens. One of my most common service calls of late is the touch screen doesn't work. Are the Sky View cables dynamic or are they sequential addressing?

Curious why the slot below the yoke vs a hole.?

Just letting you know you can see the address on the box @00:14

It's not just you....

Sixpackaero website is not available for public. Is it another way to contact them? Are they in Canada or US? Can you share the price you paid for the panel?

Curious question: Do you or should you use Loctite on the data bundle cable connectors when you put the panel together durning final assembly?

Did you install ADSB in and out with your transponder? Cheers from Winnipeg.

I assume this is a few months ago so is she actually flying now as of late Feb?

Question for Glen or someone who might know. Glen mentioned he optioned against adding USB ports into the panel. At the very end of the video, I noticed at the bottom of the left panel was a small round port that looked like it had two USB ports. Is that for a different purpose?

Would it still be a logical Upgrade to put 1 7” in my old 172? I want to upgrade, but I can’t go this big expense wise.

I'm kind of surprised you can't just hotspot your smartphone and connect the Dynon to the phone via wifi and update it that way.

Have any estimates on the weight loss you are expecting?

if it's not too late maybe reconsider putting USB ports back on. You can always plug your mobile devices to charge.

i know it will never happen, but I would love for my wife and I to be able to fly with you. It would be so cool!

🤓👌👍🖖✌😎

First

Great stuff, Glen. I'm really happy you were able to get Dynon in Canada, and I think you're going to have a wonderful 172 when you get finished with this. When you redo the interior part, are you going to swap out the yokes for something newer? www.avion.com/CessnaControWheels/CessnaControlWheels.html Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing the airplane when it's finished. One of Dynon's biggest 'selling features' is that canted switch panel and a place to 'land your hand' so that if you are using the touch screen feature, you have somewhere to plant your hand to keep it still.
