We recommend this install package if you want certified IFR
https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/577174 - certified GPS and ADBS in and out with weather
https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/512307/pn/010-01471-01 - radio with comms
https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/140494 - back up radio
https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/600047/pn/010-01946-00 - auto pilot head, https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/607047 - auto pilot - for 2 servos.
https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/107443 - engine indication
https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/166058 - 2 displays
If you don’t want Certified IFR – you can drop the $8k GNS 375 – and simply get ADBS for $1-3k (depends if you want in/out or just out)
If you don’t want back up radio – can drop $1k
If you don’t want two AHRS/display – can drop $4k for one display.
Choices of Engines
We recommend Aerovolare Engines – as price to HP to quality – nothing beats them in our opinion
But you can do any engine you want.
