I think the 275s have a 4 hour back up battery, but yeah, i get your point. Would you have a photo of your new setup?

No, it doesn't, unfortunately. There's a photo of it further up this thread. ☝

It's a 1964 C180G

That's a nice panel.

Excuse my ignorance, but would that be IFR capable at that point? Or would I still be stuck in VFR?

Thanks!

Could I scrape the money together. Probably. Would I want to? No. It's precisely the biggest thing holding me back from doing the full upgrade. I have no intentions of selling it, but idk, depends on how I like it long term. What would a two step process look like?

When you're connected to Bluetooth, and after you've answered a call, click on the button that normally puts your phone on speaker. This will now have a third option, which is your Bose headset. Click on the Bose option and you will now be able to speak through your headset.

Yeah, that's true. I carry an ipad and iphone with foreflight and sentry for nav backup, plus I keep a PJ2 in my bag... Maybe I'm over complicating this if I stay vfr.

Thanks, I love the plane. Now if it would just quit breaking on me that would be cool, lol. Yeah that quote included a new custom built panel. Just hard to shell out that much money when I just spent all the money on purchasing it... But I guess I should, otherwise I'll have to rent again when...

Here's a photo of the current panel. I'm wavering between spending the minimum possible and just getting a better gps, or going all out with a full panel rework so I'm IFR capable. Local shop quoted $56k for a gtn650, two 275s, gfc 500 autopilot with yaw axis, and an edm930. Really want to go...

That would be an option, except the 250 com doesn't seem to be working. Should have someone take a look at it I guess.

So I just bought a C180 that still has most of the original instruments. It does have a Garmin 250XL, and I am considering upgrading to a 355. How major of a deal is that to swap out? Do they have the same hookups? Just trying to figure out if my A&P can do a quick swap or if I'll have to plan...
