After further reflection I determined the heckling on the ground I could handle, it is the serious emotional damage of navigating through weather cells based on radar technology (with which I have no experience) that I need to worry about. I think I will go with the insight strikefinder as a tool to avoid bad weather altogether rather than try and navigate through it. Even though it requires a separate display, their tech support indicated when I called, that they have had many successful composite aircraft installations. The trick apparently is 1) a large enough ground plane and 2) avoiding proximity to failing motors or unshielded wires.
