So first off, I'm very aware of the GPS175+G5+G5+GFC500 dream combo; I occasionally get to fly a company Saratoga that has this setup, but with the Garmin 750, and it is awesome; I'm just not ready to drop that kind of money on my personal 1978 Archer II.
I'm looking at taking a slightly less drastic retrofit route; mine has steam gauges and an Autoflite IIIB autopilot: I'm considering installing a GNX-175, along with a DAC GDC31 roll steering converter/computer so that my Autoflite IIIB could fly holds and RNAV approaches with the relative precision of GPSS.
Anybody recently install this combination in their airplane? Any PIREPs on labor to install? Any gotchas encountered along the way?
Thanks in advance - and appreciate all the accumulated experience in this forum!
