Touchdown! Greaser!
Some notes & pros & cons I'm thinking about:
* moving the SL-30 puts all the radios in easy reach. When flying IFR I tend to use one radio for enroute and the other for departure / arrival frequencies. It's not that hard to reach it where it is.
* leaving the SL-30 makes it easier to remove it later if I ever decide I don't need the redundancy (unlikely)
* moving the txpndr - It's a fairly long reach to put in a squawk, but you don't do that very often
* There is not enough room to move both SL-30 and Txponder to the center
* The MX-20 is functional, but it's stupid slow and the maps are stale and I don't think it's possible to update them anymore. I will never use it. It might be a fun toy for a passenger, I dunno. Also not much benefit to removing it other than weight savings. I'm really on the fence on this one.
CURRENT
Move SL-30 to center
Move Transponder to center
