We never had the CD player, I don't listen to CDs and told them to take it out at the pre-buy.

Just curious, was there a reason the "6 pack" was arranged the way it was in the "before" picture? Seems like an odd arrangement to me. Did it come like that originally?

Yes Andrew. Back in 1966 the engineers over at Cessna were so high they didnt care where they put the instruments. They just thought "Hey mannnnnnn I'll put this one right over here, and I'm getting good vibes from this one right here mannnnnnn"
Or something like that.

David, your panel looks so clean and nice. You will have fun flying it that way to 6Y9. Mandatory pirate voice on CTAF.

Local called "McKee Avionics"
I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend them to anyone, they did a phenomenal job and exceeded all my expectations.

Yes, but I don't see a problem with that seeing as it's his plane.
The new panel looks nice!

The new panel is nice. The old one lacked a GPS of some sort. And the CD player can go. These days I stream Pandora in the cockpit.

Why is my simple statement so difficult to understand, Lots of pilots here fly less attractive panels than the before picture. I would have been happy to fly that one.

Shotgun panels are like shotgun marriages: even when functional, they carry a whiff of indecency.
I like the new one. Congratulations!

Not reliable enough for streaming while airborne.

I've never had a problem with it. But then again, I don't often venture far away from cities. I'd imagine out in west texas you couldnt find anything

Depends on where you are. I get a fairly reliable 3G connection over all of the Bay Area, even offshore a couple miles, and most of the Central and San Joaquin Valley. It drops out in the boonies and over the mountains.

I understood your statement nor thought it appropriate either..
