Dream Panel

Was wondering what would be your dream panel if cost was not a factor and why you would choose the instruments you do?

Well remember you asked. Winter ALT and ASI, and Airpath compass (usually required by manufacture's operational manual) however I consider the ALT and compass of little worth anymore.

LX9000 with V8 vario plus AHRS, compass, flaps, and remote stick options. AirAvionics Butterfly vario with NMEA interface and Air Glide connect stick, Apple iPhone 6 plus and mount running AirAvionics iGlide pro. LXNAV Nano 3 (doesn't everyone need 4 loggers?)Trig TY-91 radio with Peiker TM168 boom mike. Trig TT22 transponder. PowerFLARM. DeLorme In-Reach Explorer. 2 @ 16amp Hobby King LiFePO4 batteries. Jensi 308 Duo battery charger. Taylor 5862 Digital 4 Event Timer. Paraphernalia mini softie 240# w/ aerobatic harness with thread-thru adapters. 1" blue and 1" pink g foam seat cushions in 2" cotton cover. Cut-to-fit sheepskin. Mountain High O2D1 pulse demand O2 system. 25K-30K ought to cover it...you'll need more for consumables, support, and miscellaneous stuff. BTW, don't forget the 150K plus for the wife's obligatory motorhome.

A UAT-Out box, certified GPS source and Dual-Link ADS-B receiver of course :-)

A "Memphis" variometer.

Yeah, but does it get HBO?

Can you get soap operas on that?

Nice, notice the Russian helicopter in the background. I would still want a mechanical ASI, and altimeter as back up and a LX V3 with UPS battery pack as a back up vario. With this panel there is no space for back up instruments in case you lose power to the main bus.

Dream panel for me would be LX9070 with V80 and AHRS, compass, flaps, and remote stick options. LX V3 vario with UPS battery so I have a backup vario if I lose the main bus power. Air-avionics radio and transponder core, so one panel hole and transponder is controlled by radio, NMEA output so the transponder will have ADS-B, Butterfly vario, power flarm core, winer 57 mm ASI and Altimeter, and while I am not sure why compasses are still required equipment I would find a bohli (might as well get the best.
