standard six pack

Post by captnkirk »

Does any know if there is a reason why some older models m4 and m5 from what I've seen never seem to have the standard six pack set up? Is there bracing or space restrictions that dictate the layouts. If so why is it no two seem the same, and is it possible to rearrange those panels to a standard set up. I've been spoilt by 40+ years of looking at the standard setup (well except the new glass but that's a different can of worms) and us old dog hate learning new tricks.

Haven't had the chance to probe around the panel of those birds know that they are not the only ones. Remember flying some twin comanchees and similar airplanes which had them spattered everywhere. Standard just hasn't been standard all that long.

Now the new glass, well that's not a scan, it's a stare. It will mess you up but oh so sweet it is.
