Starting to progress in the shop!

That’s some nice progress @finnicky7! You’ll be amazed at how heavy all the components of a vacuum system really are, once they are in a cardboard box on a scale. I think you made a great choice with the G5’s. GI-275’s are wonderful instruments that are better suited for multiple-unit installs needing more redundancy options and EIS function, and also have a modern Garmin navigator. You didn’t need to replace that 430 just yet. The S-Tec and G5’s should behave and play nice with each other. 
 

Decades ago, I did a complete panel upgrade on a Comanche. I considered it pretty modern and functional, with all that 80’s King / Narco magic. Now, 25 years later, and me returning to the GA universe in an ‘67 E after a 15 year absence, it’s been a steep learning curve to navigate all the changes and advancements in light aircraft avionics.
