Your Choices
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.
If you want any other avionics package, you can sure get that.
Dynon, GRT, MGL, Avidyne, or any other.
Interiors, we offer leather interior standard – one color.
If you want 2 colors or colored stitching or carbon fiber panel, or something like that will be additional.
Paint scheme – we offer 1 full color base with some basic colored striping (vinyl or paint)
If you want extra, will be extra depending on amount of complexity.
Choices of Engines
We recommend Aeromomentum Engines – as price to HP to quality – nothing beats them in our opinion
But you can do any engine you want.
