August 21, 200817 yr Based on my research, no.FWIW - I am toying with the idea of a "general purpose" cockpit, or at least a panel/center pedestal setup, that can handle Avidyne displays as well as other types of avionics (G1000, "steam", etc.). Right now I'm thinking of a setup that involves GoFlight's panels and stand-alone controls, that can are reconfigurable and can access the "bezel" knobs and buttons of the different avionics configurations. As is probably obvious, what I have in mind is not the typical B737/other heavy iron configuration, but is more targeted at "smaller" GA airplanes (Pilatus PC-12, King Air, Cessna Mustang, MD500/etc. helicopters, etc.).It would have panel elements that could be swapped out as needed, and would be constructed out of a combination of MDF, plywood (framing), Velcro 8^) , and possibly plastic panels. It would support both helicopter and fixed-wing cockpits. The ultimate end-game would be backlit legends on the switchology and controls, but that seems to be expensive and difficult to achieve.All of this is still mostly "in my head", but I have been spending quite a bit of time lately thinking about how to go about it.More discussion is needed and encouraged... I am not very adept at constructing this kind of stuff (nor do I currently have the tools/shop to do it), and thus am looking for insight/creative approaches.cheers,Dave B.
