A friend had an FX-3 with a GTN 650, but there isn't enough space for the radio if you have comm on the right side.
As to the AXIS, bluntly, I'm over it. The G3X is perfectly fine. When it first came out I of course wanted it and first reached out the Midwest panel builders as I watch them on YouTube. That was a never ending back and forth where I just gave up. Prior to Oshkosh it was clear, I wanted them to upgrade my plane, I offered to be the first FX-3 for them, two were ahead of me. They said they'd have an estimate by whenever (prior to OSH) and that didn't happen. I get it, they're busy prepping for OSH I presume. I waited until after OSH and reached out to them. They said they'd gladly send me the panel. I don't want the panel! I want the plane upgraded. The conversation ended there, it was futile, I have no idea why I couldn't communicate with them offering to fly my plane up and have it upgraded.
So I reached out to CubCrafters via parts I think it was asking about the upgrade. It was me and one other xcub at that time and they said they'd get back to me. Never heard from them.
So I've given up and probably a good thing as again, the G3X is perfectly fine. I no longer have any desire for the AXIS or the troubles it may bring being new, and having a perfect airplane that is just going to have something go wrong in the process.
If I were you and HAD to have it, I would not take delivery until it was done. It will go to the service hangar and they will do the upgrade and when done I'd take delivery. They do the mods after production that you may want. They've upgraded their own planes, no reason they can't upgrade yours. It's just a matter of whether you want to pay the price. I'd also keep the GDU-465 and sell it. You could probably get 3-4K for it.
