Recommended Upgrades

During the process of installing the Legacy XL Stationary Panel, you’ll first have to remove a few important items from your aircraft. As you prepare to reinstall these items, it’s a good time to consider replacing them! There will never be a better time to replace some of these aging components. The Legacy XL Stationary Panel Kit can be a fresh start for your aircraft.

Circuit Breaker Wiring Kit

Now is a good time to upgrade your electrical system with all new Klixon circuit breakers

We offer a complete custom buss bar system custom cut out of .06” copper, shaped for maximum efficiency in the new circuit breaker layout. This kit comes complete with all new Klixon Push/Pull circuit breakers, prewired to a CPC plug. We’ll include everything you need to match your airplane wiring to our kit.

Compass

We highly recommend upgrading to the SIRS Navigator Pedestal Mount Compass.

Some older magnetic compasses are deep and bulky instruments. To better fit the new shape of the Legacy XL Stationary Panel, we recommend upgrading to this low profile, modern, easy to read compass.
