Has anyone installed one of these?
I'm considering the Mid Continent MD-93. It fits in a 2 1/4" spot on the panel. Has a very nice clock, timer, flight timer, UTC clock and dual 2.1 usb ports, its also TSO'd. The price is very attractive and I can kill two birds with one stone.
My concern is routing the cables from the MD-93 to the Ipad, stratux, etc. If the USB power port is in the panel I'll be running long wires under the glare shield or on top of the panel.
I don't want to cut holes in my panel or behind the seats for a USB port. Although, behind the seats next to the headset ports looks like the most logical place for a USB port.
Can someone comment on the pro's and cons of a panel mount USB port?
