Hello,

After a trip to OshKosh, I'm = planning on re-doing the panel in my IV-P.  I'm wondering where the = best place would be to get 2.25" airspeed, altimeter, attitude = indicator.  The instruments I have now have Lancair logos on them, = so I presume they shipped with the kit.  Does Lancair have the = 2.25" instruments as well.

Also, if you were  redoing = the panel with a Garmin G3X system (3 screens with battery backup), = would you even bother putting in the 3 steam guages as backup or is 3 = screens redundant enough?

Finally, is there a market for the = instruments/avionics I take out?  Perhaps = Barnstormers....    stuff like vision microsystems engine = monitor, sandel ehsi, steam guages, etc.

Thanks = folks!
