Hello All,

Today we took C-FQQQ up for its first flight after about 9 months of
upgrades and maintenance.  We replaced the entire panel with a Garmin G3X
system and for some reason we decided to do it ourselves.  We didn't build
the plane and had a very basic understand on how things worked and where
things were hidden.  I can say now that while I'm not near and expert on
certain parts --- I can tell you where to find them and tell  you what
certain do-hickies are and do.  This is much more than I could have said 9
months ago.  So while it was a long drawn out process, it was pretty
educational.

The only part of the panel we kept was the garmin 430 (2), garmin audio
panel and transponder (as well as the pressurization stuff).   Stein Air
sold me the parts and did up a wiring harness which was pretty good (only
needed a couple fixes).  Their support is great too --- the fielded
countless calls from us and were happy to help.  Definitely recommend them
if you're in the market.

I've posted a couple videos for those interested in chiming in on our
engine numbers.  I should mention that our fuel flow is low... we only
reached about 37GPH on take-off.  This will be adjusted tomorrow.  I'm
thinking that made some of these other numbers high as well.  The mixture
was full rich during these straight/level videos.  The only difference is
the power settings.  The other item of note is the delta between the left
and right TIT... about 250degrees...  any ideas?

Special thanks to Bob Pastusek who's offered great help countless times
throughout this process.

Thanks folks!
