Jerry- You are right on!! Most pilots have back-up steam guages installed in they're panels like the company L-4PT has. Other than adding a non-certified BMA EFIS-ONE which initially will only be another large GPS moving map and attitude indicator, you really only have a back-up system. You would only initially engage the BMA auto-pilot only at high-altitude until you can feel confident of its consistancy with ONE HAND on the disconnect button.
Most pilots feel this way even when they fly a certified system for the first few inital times, anyway and gain confidence. All my steam guages are electric with the idea that the total system primary and back-up are electric with a back-up 20 amp B/M alternator hopefully for better mean-time between failure on both systems at a very reasonable cost. Is this not why we are wanting to fly experimentals anyway??.
