Do you have some more pictures of what it looks like behind the g3x? Looking to see what structural you have under the fiberglass hump. Did you put some kind of cross bar or something to tie the fiberglass together under the fiberglass?
Also, it looks like you just need an extra inch to get the gsu460 in. Is there any reason you went so much higher than you May have needed to to fit the gsu460 in?

If you ever watch Trent Palmer on youtube he has a camera hooked up to a G3X on his Kitfox and it looks like it works really nice. I think a Kitfox is way taller in the front than a Sonex though so like you said, not sure how much added benefit it would be for us. Looks cool though.

Cut out is 6.28in top to bottom. but it still looks to be about the same size screen as the G3x460.
The cool thing about the hdx is that it hangs over the lower lip.
Not a big fan of the skyview graphical user interface, but they seem to make wiring the thing dirt simple.
What do you all think of this idea?
Did a quick quote on Dynon's site and price ranges from 10K (Standard VFR) to almost 20K (Delux VFR).

Maybe the MGL is not looking so bad.

I spent close to 12k for everything for my G3X setup with 2 axis autopilot. 20k seems excessive for Dynon. I was quoted $10,500 for a similar MGL setup.

I have been looking for panel ideas but they all seem to be A model panels so that doesnt help. I want the dynon system with the 10.5 screen as well. Maybe make it a ifr platform but very minimal IFR. I live on the west coast so getting into some coastal areas is difficult unless i wait till around noon for the layer to burn off. this is honestly awesome. great job!
