That was my guess as well, the only problem in my case is that the remote compass has to be installed within 1deg of pitch of the unit in the cockpit. If I had to take a guess the bottom part of the wing and the cockpit panel should be more or less 90deg to each other that means the top and bottom of the instruments are parallel to the bottom wings so it is ideal. But 1deg is a lot of accuracy. I most likely have to come up with an adjustable bed for the remote compass.

will be installing a Dynon D180 as engine monitoring system and flight data backup, while the main avionics will be 2 iPads fed via wifi from an iLevil.
Had to make a multiple failure interaction study, but finally it got approved since there is plenty of redundancy with this configuration.
here's a rendering with the instruments and the final layout, all switches are on the left panel, here in the rendering I planned to put the circuit breakers on the right panel, but at the end I put them all in line underneath the throttle levers.
Upper panel is carbon fibre.

the iLevil, is a magic box with external input for static and dynamic that feeds any tablet or phone via wifi with attitude, altitude, airspeed, gps position and much more. The device then needs to have some app in order to make a useful use of those data. They provide a free app which is ok, but there are other apps which are much better. it also incorporate ADSB in&out, if you still need to upgrade.
being experimental I don't need certification, however the Italian EAA since this was the first full glass cockpit without any steam gauge backup wanted some kind of redundancy and the Dynon D180 beside being a great engine monitoring system, it also incorporates basic flight data and an internal battery (so the iLevil) that will serve as a backup should something not work on the tablet or iLevil.
