Substitute a Garmin 430 for one of these:

* Dual SL30 nav/comms

It will still cost you $30K+ installed; maybe as much as $40K, depending on
the shop. And you still haven't even thought about an autopilot.


An autopilot is a more difficult thing than everything else
in the avionics stakc. The autopilot has to be set up to
match the flying properties of the airframe,
