Well, here is my panel. ’96 Ovation. At some point I'm planning to add GPSS and a backup AI, and then I think its perfect. (you can’t see the Stormscope or Skywatch which are displayed on the 530, and I plan to get weather on my iPad with an ADS-B receiver) I have the spot for the electric backup AI, and the GPSS doesn’t need much space.
But here is my dilemma. I'm kinda old school, and like the way the AI/FD and HSI look, so wasn't planning on going to an Aspen, certainly not any time soon. I have enough capability and I’m saving the money for an upcoming overhaul. I figured I'd add the standby electric AI in the spot on the bottom left, and GPSS doesn't take much space. (although I'm not sure which product to buy in either case - advice?)
But here is the problem. My AI looks like it is in need of an overhaul. $2,000. GPSS, $2,000? Backup AI, $2,000? I'd solve for both the backup AI and the GPSS with the aspen. Do I really want to do this? My inclination is to repair the AI, and save up for the backup AI and then the GPSS over time. Does the aspen work seamlessly with the king KFC-150 autopilot?
Thoughts?!
