Hamid is correct about technology. He has been there and done that. There is
no such thing as a free lunch in aviation.  95% is not good enough. 99.99% is
not good enough either. If 99.99% were good enough we would have a major
airline disaster every day.

Avionics have to work all the time. They have to be reliable, accurate, fail
safe, etc.  A friend of mine died because of an avionics failure. So if you
want ot be a guinea pig and fly IFR with your $250 EFIS then go right ahead--
no one is stopping you. I just don't think it is a good idea to get too far
out on the limb.
