All,
Interested in slowly starting my Instrument rating in the not-too distant future. My current airplane is a Stinson 108 that is VERY VFR. I have a DG, AH, TC and VSI. I have ONE comm. That's it. I've been looking at various nav-comms and other possibilities for getting the airplane set up for limited IFR training (not in actual).
I recently found that the KNS80 RNAV receivers (and similar) can be had pretty cheaply. I don't really have a problem with my current single comm (with backup handheld) setup. Anybody know what all I'd need to get in addition to the KNS 80? I assume I'd need a VOR/LOC/GS indicator as well as antennas, but which ones? Is this a good solution for getting some instrument training? Looks like the terra trinav indicator is the only one I can find that's not WAY more than the KNS 80, am I missing something?
Other possibilities are the Terra Nav/COM/LOC/GS's or similar. How much of a disadvantage is not having DME?
Any other suggestions?
