We are looking to add GPS to the panel of N3510N. We didn't think we'd be able to afford this upgrade to our IFR platform this soon, but the release of the GNX 375 is a perfect spatial and cost effective fit for us, given the ADS-B requirement. We will pull the KT-76A transponder and fill that spot with the GNX 375. The question becomes how to display this information on indicators. Currently, we have a KX-155 w/glideslope driving a KI-209 (pilot's-side panel), and another KX-155 (no glideslope) driving a KI-208 (pax-side panel). Note that within the year, we intend to do a panel reorg bringing the #1 and #2 indicators both to the far right side of the pilot's-side panel. As we see it there are two options: 1) Leave Nav#2 (KX-155 no glideslope) and the KI-208 alone. Replace the KI-209 with a KI-209A and a remote switch, displaying both the GPS and Nav#1 (KX-155 w/glidslope) on the KI-209A. 2) Get rid of the KI-208 (or pull but save for later pax-side panel reorg) leaving no indication for the 2nd KX-155. Leave the Nav#1 (KX-155 w/glideslope) driving the KI-209 as is. Buy a new indicator (KI-209A or GI-106B) to display the GPS (GNX 375). So questions are: 1) On option 2, is there a reason to pick the KI-209A vs GI-106B? 2) Option 1 vs. Option 2: Unique indicators for GPS and Nav#1, vs driving a single switched indicator. 3) Any issues with driving our Brittain AccuTrak II with either of these setups 4) Anything else we are missing here (...besides a 10" G3X Touch)?

Couldn't figure out which forum to put this in, but in one of the threads, I had mentioned I was thinking about creating some aviation-themed (this being MooneySpace - obviously MOONEY THEMED) items for the home/office/Hangar. * apologizing in advance if this is the wrong part of the forums. These are what my friend and I created over the weekend. ** on the butcher block I used the wrong kind of rag/towel when applying the Wood oil so some lint is currently trapped in the grooves etched out by the laser. It will eventually come out. Trying to gauge if there would be any demand 1. from Mooney Space and 2. For other aircraft makers and their followings (don't know why anyone would want to own something other than a Mooney though) Also --- if anyone has the inside to get official Licensing from Mooney (Beechcraft/Cessna/Piper/Cirrus) please let me know. I'd like to know 1. What you like 2. What you don't like The cutting board was one I have used for a long time and probably wasn't thoroughly cleaned properly too.
