you are not nice my friendSounds like Garmin can't make them fast enough. Can't wait to see the specials and rebates at Sun N Fun in 2 weeks.
Dual G5's are on order! Hopefully, install in April sometime. I am terrible at waiting!
Where is the GMU being mounted?
Nope, change in plans. GMU is going in the back fuselage. About 2 ribs aft of the battery box.

Just not enough room to work and access in the wing is very limited. To keep the GMU located a safe distance from anything that could cause interference issues, the wing just became undoable. So, sheilded wiring was ran to the beacon and rear Nav light and a new location has been selected to mount the GMU. Ans yes, it will be mounted as such that it will be clear of all the cabling and servos. I think it is the more proper location. But I definitely defer to the experts in my avionics shop.Why? Pros, cons?

I should have taken a picture tonight when I went in to check on progress, but they did an excellent job of building a platform that the GMU is mounted on. It is affixed in the upper right portion of the rear fuselage. Well out of the way of all rigging and servos. I’m very impressed with their ingenuity. I will try to get a picture before it’s all buttoned back up.
