Avionics

Radio Installation ( 3 hrs )

Just returned from 2 wk "road trip" to Niagara Falls, Montreal, and Quebec City in Canada and Bar Harbor, Maine and Franconia, New Hampshire.  Great fall colors and good time with family and friends.   Now, back to building!  Positioned tray for GTR 200 Radio in center stack.  Drilled 6 holes for mounting to side supports.  Created .038" shims to fill gaps each side and assembled with 6-32 screws. Finally, test fit both Radio and GMC 307 Auto Pilot into center stack.  Tah-dah ! ...good fit.
