Hi, I don't understand, are you building a Classic type of plane? If not,
why use 1930 and 1940 technology? I'm not to the point of building my panel
yet, but I'm going glass.

For a *basic* VFR panel you can't beat a few mechanical gages for cost
and return.

OTOH my G-III if I ever get it done will be full, dual, redundant
glass with the required mechanical backups.

If you are rebuilding a panel, it's not cost effective, but if your going
from scatch.... I priced the GRT's EFIS & full engine monitor for the same

Engine monitor?

Even in the Deb I only have one CHT and one EGT probe.
Again on the G-III everything will be monitored complete with trends.

price as a vacumm system. You get a lot more than a Six pack system for the
same price. If you haven't purchased parts of your system, you may want to
check the features.

I am starting the planning of my panel and wondering how many people have
shock-mounted their gyros. Please also comment if you have NOT done so,
and
weather or not you think it actually helped. I am working with limited
panel space (aren't we all) and the shock mounts will take up valuable
real
estate. I am considering using the smaller lord mounts but would also
like
to hear of other solutions people have found to accomplish the mission
using
minimal extra panel space.

Thanks
