Bonding the avionics shelf


A good avionics stack begins with a good shelf. The shelf must be on a level plane with respect the firewall and the level attitude of the aircraft. After measuring and a shimming to the desired height I bonded the shelf to the tops of the motor supports and then glassed in around the edge with a two bid layup. After drying overnight, I rolled on a nice coat of epoxy primer to match. Presto, a great bed for adding all sort of avionic wonders.
