I'm considering a Dynon FlightDek D180 it is the larger screen and is both a
EFIS and EIS in one. If I go that way I'll leave room and pre-wire for a
smaller D10 for the right seat. This will give be a back up set of flight
instruments for the D180 and I would be able to put the HSI/DG on 1/3 of the
D180 and the engine data on the D10.



If you have the room for it... the D100 (as in a second D100 size
chassis) has a MUCH larger screen and is only $200 more.. (and comes
with its own external directional compass (EDC), which eats most of that
price diff)... you'd get the equivalent of two full INDEPENDENT EFIS and
a EMS. The other nice thing I like about the D100.. its not nearly as
deep as the D10(A) so if space behind the panel becomes an issue (such
as in the corner of the panel, where the fuselage MAY taper inwards).

Then you can have full screen engine data on the right, full AHI/DG on
the left (or swappable in case your right seater wants flight data in front)
