Thats very good to know.

> Does your $20,000 figure for a conventional panel include a HSI?

Yes, I was figuring in an STEC panel mounted  HSI.  They can be had new for
about $6500.00.  I was also figuring all vacuum gyros, airspeed, and VSI.  I
was also taking into account deleting the vacuum pump, and accys, complete
VM1000 system, UPS MX20 moving map, and doing all the wiring myself.  The
difference for all of these items are very close to $20,000.00  For the
entire panel, you would still have to have a Turn coordinator, NAV/Comms,
GPS, xpndr, autopilot, etc., and you would have to buy the engine sensors
(which are about $400.00 from what I understand) from Sierra.

I know some of you will be saying, that you can't compare a vacuum gyro to
the AHRS system, and I'm not.  I'm just saying it will cost me about
$20,000 more to go with the high end LCD system, over a more conventional
system.  Not that bad when you consider how much more you are getting for
you $$, although that would sure buy alot of gas.
