Don't know in this case. My father-in-law installed a dual panel in his Bo V-tail, though, with electric AI and HSI on pilot side and vacuum AI and DG on copilot side.AdamZ said:Nice plane! Just curious as to why you would have a DG and and HSI?
Note the owner has electric and vac attitude gyros. The HSI needs electricity. I'm thinking the HSI and elec AI were added. By retaining the original vac DG, you have redundancy in case of electrical failure.AdamZ said:Nice plane! Just curious as to why you would have a DG and and HSI?

$210k WoW. it sold new for $18k, A friend has one here bought new in 1968 for that.

Nah. I'm just drooling. I like older planes that have been updated enough to get modern but still keep their character. And I've always been a fan of the C180/185 line. They remind me of my Ford F250 Diesel: I may not get there fast but I can carry anything I want and take it anywhere I want.NickDBrennan said:Purty plane Brian! You thinking about it?
Henning said:For that kind of money you'd be afraid to take it where it can go. Don't you wish you would have squirreled away a couple of those at 1968 prices?
lancefisher said:In today's dollars $18k from 1968 would be worth a little over 100 K so at $210k you'd have beat the CPI by about 100%, ignoring "little" things like insurance and hangar costs.
