See cutouts below photos for consideration
Currently I have a stratus 2S (w external power and antennas) mounted behind smoked piglass. Its status LEDs are visible in flight.
Why do I have this, as backup to the unlikely event everything goes kerplunk. If needed I could still use iPad etc and keep going. Consideration above throttles - In my mind, right where engine monitor of any sort could go, To put anything just above throttles requires re-locating the stratus 2s ...somewhere. I can probably find somewhere. Over to right behind overlay is/was an opening holding an old radio, so it might mount on back ...perhaps. Or maybe just drop stratus 2s backup? Option 1 - Simplest install - right of Shadin Remove EGT G4 goes where EGT currently is, to the right of Shadin. Not a direct line of view, but pretty close, and probably good enough. Option 2 - G4 above throttles. Remove EGT Re locate stratus 2s ...somewhere. Use same or similar panel w 3.25 cutout mount G4 right over throttles. Maybe slightly left, to be clear of RPM which sits higher up Option 3 - JPI 790 nice big digit display / scanning mode or stop Remove EGT Re-locate stratus 2s ...somewhere Install JPI 90 right over throttles Remove or leave shadin in? Option 4 - Upper left of pilot panel Not sure curing 3.25 into overlay panel would go perfect;ly, but stuff in that area is no longer used, OM, MM, IN, panel/speaker etc. Far way from engine gauges, but worth considering
