I really like it for a -10. Too much stuff for a seven. Fuggetaboudit in an eight!

Is that a sorcerer autopilot?

Got a bigger copy? I need more resolution in order to properly drool!

I don't...

I swiped it from the "other" site. When I saw it I was TOTALLY FLABBERGASTED!

Way more advanced than the LCARS displays on the Enterprise. Starship that is.

Yes. I'm a nerd.

That seems to be more and more common among RV-10 panels. I've seen bunch's of 'em with the defunct Chelton system too!

There's more dough in that panel than I'll have in my whole airplane!!

Chelton isn't belly up. Direct-to Avionics is.

The way I understood it was, DTA was a dealer of theirs.

Ah, you are correct my friend...I stand corrected.

Someday perhaps I'll be able to have too much money too.

I can't wait to do my panel. Thats the part I am really looking forward to

That is one mighty nice panel. I don't think the RV-7 has quite as much panel space, and I know my pockets aren't that deep, but it would sure be nice.

I hear the price tag came close to $70,000 for the panel!

That is more than a VFR RV-7!

I did a BFR with Alex in that -10 before I got back to flying for a living.

It is truely a nice set-up, but way too complex for my taste in an RV. I don't want to work that hard when I'm flying "recreationally". IMO, you'd have to fly ALOT in your RV to stay proficient with all that gear.

BTW, that airplane also has an airconditioner, the nicest interior finish I've ever seen in an RV (ultra-suede, leather, etc), dual Bose headsets, and more. It's nice--understatement--just not my bag, man.

Here's another 10# panel, but this one is in a 5# bag!

There isn't room for a PTT switch on it!
