The airplane has been sitting in a reconstruction phase for over 18 months. THe VSI has gone TU, reading 5000' down just sitting there. I'm sure the AI and the rest of the steam instruments are about as happy as the VSI.
I've got an elderly 182A. I'm not all that shot up about stuff that won't fit into a 3" or 2" instrument hole. I am NOT going to hacksaw the panel up to install the latest and greatest rectangular instruments. Nor can I afford them.
If I were you, what replacements would you do, with the understanding that I hate Garmin with a purple passion for being the Apple of the aviation world?
Yes, I can install anything I damn well please to give me IFR capability, including the squirrel in the cage running the gyros if that is what it takes.
Thoughts (mostly outside the boxes boxes edges) if you please.
