2670 X-Plane GNS Panel
2670 X-Plane GNS Panel
The Model 2670 GNS Panel was designed to be flush mounted inside your homemade aircraft panel or the GoFlight Panel Rack. The 2670 measures 7.25in inches by 4.0 inches.
Two mounting holes are provided to help in the fastening the Landing Gear Panel to your flightdeck or Rack.
Once mounted inside your flightdeck or GoFlight Rack, take the USB cable coming from the 2670 and insert it into an unused USB port on your computer. The computer will automatically sense and load the appropriate driver software. Once loaded, this software will remain on the computer even in the event of a power-down.

Installing the 420 GNS Panel
With the GNS Panel plugged into your computer and the driver software is loaded, it's now time to program the buttons and switches to perform the functions needed to execute all the requirements of the X-Plane' 430 GNS Panel.
Now would be a good time to let you know that you MUST Keep the Panel connected to the SAME USB port as it is now. If removed and placed into another USB port, all your programming will be lost. So before starting the programming, make sure you are comfortable with the 2670's USB port. If so, lets start programming the Panel.
