Default New Panel Help

Hello All,
I am returning to the sport after a 30 year hiatus. I have recently purchased an SHK1, which I am refinishing/restoring. My goal is to use this ship to earn FAI badges, not to fly competitively. Given this information, and a limited budget, I am looking for opinions regarding instruments, GPS, Navigation and logger choices as well as their placement on the panel. The ship came with three mechanical variometers, a sage and two winters, an altimeter and an airspeed indicator. What would a good panel look like and comprise?
Thanks for any help.
Bill


I have a dell streak which I am planning on using, but am enough of a noob to have no idea what else I need. To fly badge flights I assume I need some type of gps and some way of saving data? Is that what a "volkslogger" is?
