|
| Apollo GX55 IFR GPS
| 2 KX155 radios
| King audio panel, ADF and transponder
| S-TEC 50 autopilot
|
| I would like to add a color moving map to my stack as well as a
stormscope.

The King MFD also works better with your existing radios. Alternatively you
could get an Apollo MX20 MFD, which is a much nicer display than any of the
King or other Garmin products, and keep your existing GPS. I use the MX20 in
my own 206 and it is a very nice unit.
