Default replacement instruments

I'm yanking my Lnav / GPSnav from my panel and am installing a CN2 on a RAM. I'd like to fill some of the holes with something that is moderately inexpensive yet will complement the CN2. Remaining a Sage CVA, airspeed, alt.
Any ideas?

How about a nice ADF receiver and indicator that I'm pulling out of my
C-180?

Have you got an electric vario?Â* I would highly recommend a ClearNav XC
vario, if not.Â* My CNII is RAM mounted and I have a CNvXC with both
analog and digital indicators, a great combination.

All good stuff, competitively priced by Richard, but I don't see anything there that
matches "moderately inexpensive" ;^)

I was a bit hasty: it sports the new LXNav ADI, an ASI/altimeter/vario combo instrument
that is much cheaper than the individual units, releases two holes for other instruments,
and is user configurable for Vne changes in altitude, and more. But, Phoenix already has
those instruments and empty holes.

Do you already have an artificial horizon? If not, something like this:

You may not be authorised to fly in IMC (as you know we can and do fly our gliders in IMC in the UK) but if you got into IMC inadvertently it would be pretty useful!

A Flarm Display(Like Uavionic) or transponder (TT22)

or an Electric Backup Vario w/audio like Borgelt B400 with a battery backup. But this could probably replace you Sage. Could add the Averager option.
