Avionics

GTR 200 Radio and GMC307 autopilot installed ( 2 hrs )

Installed tray for GTR 200 radio (holes drilled, spacers done months ago).  The 6 screws holding tray were challenging due to tight/awkard position, so required much more time than expected.   The radio itself slid into position easily.  Then installed GMC 307 Autopilot with simple retention on IP itself.   Finally, tightened connectors on backside of each.
