Strongly recommend reading Brent's post.
People confuse probability with severity.
This is like contraception. 1% of the population gets 100% pregnant.
These things do fail and some of the failure modes are caused outside the unit. For that set of failure modes if you lose one pfd you'll lose both.
IMO not having a "rotating mass" backup is irresponsible.

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!
