2.75 months to complete the panel upgrade on my Cardinal. I now have about 6 hours on the new panel and LOVE everything about the upgrade.
Before:
After:
No vacuum system now — replaced with 2 Garmin G5’s; all Cessna engine gauges replaced with a JPI EDM900; Cessna fuel senders replaced with CIES senders, sending accurate digital information to the EDM900. The original plastic panel overlays were replaced with powder coated aluminum panels. New LED strobes and nav lights were also installed. Delays in shipping added to the installation time.
