Dream Panel

This is pretty much what I'm planning for my new ship. A few (probably stupid) questions for you: 1) What is the smallest battery that the LX V3 would have? 2) Why both the V80 and the Butterfly Vario? Can't the V80 do everything that the Butterfly can do? 3) Any idea if all that would all that fit in a JS1's panel? By my reckoning, with the jet control unit taking up one slot then there wouldn't be enough space for both the V80 and the Butterfly but that's a guess.

Regarding JS1 panel, in my opinion if you stick with LXNAV 9000 (V8 and not V80), all 2.25 instruments, and Trig radio and transponder tightly "stacked" or the yet to be released Air Avionics Air Com there is enough room. One 2.25 instrument will have to go under the panel in the raised floor pan instrument area. That instrument should be a "look only" instrument such as an altimeter or compass.

Redundancy is the reason for the LXNAV 9000/V8 and Air Avionics Butterfly and they should have no common plumbing including probes.

PM me your email address and I'll send you a paper "mock-up" picture.
