"Budget"? It appears that you have all of the most expensive boxes...;)

Here is where I am going. I'll try not to fly sideways though.

I'm trying to keep things simple with my panel. Should have everything I need to fly Day & Night VFR with reasonable cross-country legs.

Not pictured:
Dual USB jack for power/charging (will be mounted just below the panel)
Headset jacks (will be mounted behind the shoulder)
Transponder (mounted in aft fuselage, controlled by iEFIS)
Throttle & mixture (mounted on Sonex throttle quadrant, above flap detents)

Noel, have you thought about mounting your ELT remote switch behind the pax like your headset? I found it saves panel space and is still accessible.

Looks good Noel! The modern panels are very space efficient when thought out. My panel is a hodgepodge of stuff I had, plus I bought a G meter and turn coordinator. I have less than $2K in mine, the bulk of it in the KX155.

One nice thing about center controls, it will be easy to mount my Anson Engineering vents to either side. I am going to let them blow up from underneath.

There are a couple typos in there. Too many r's in cooordinator and I plan on a 10A breaker for the ignition per the plans.

I bought my lighter plugs from the aviation aisle at Farm & Fleet.

What's this thing do?

I think the KISS method works. My panels has the MGL Enigma and I like it but the interface is too clunky in my opinion. I think a simple engine monitor and some steam would've been just fine for the flying I do.

If I were to put a USB Jack in, I'm thinking of mounting a USB plug in the top of the panel so I can plug my ipad/GPS/ADSB reciever in so the cords don't hang down in front.

What's this thing do?

That's the Surface to Air Missile Alert system!

Actually, it is the ELT remote panel.

What is the bar LED next to the ASI?
