Help! - Start from scratch avionics
"As previously pointed out by Chuckles!"
No, Capt, in acutal fact it was pointed out by the Dr. I just had to refer to the Chuckler for the details.
"You can also get some nice EFIS panels that replace the standard flight instruments etc. Been searching on Google to find the brand. CC could answer that also as he is having it installed in his Bo."
Try to keep up, man!

Warbo, you didn't build that, did you?
Who's the hands behind that work of art?

I just get to do the fun stuff like picking a colour & scheme or the avionics etc!

Yeah that's him.
It was this thread that is to blame for the Aspen! I have also read about it on the Cessna Pilots website and the yanks all love them. A few glitches at the start but most of these have been ironed out now. There is still a minor problem with the built in GPS roll steering but it is expected to be fixed with the next update. Looking in the manual, it really can do some cool stuff.

Warbo, are you able to have an AP with Alt hold in the 185 these days (STec?)?
My recollection is that you could not have it with the Cessna 400 gear that they originally came with.
Dr
PS: Yeah, yeah, so what if I am jealous of that panel!

Latest Aerotrader has the following (all certified and in $US)
Garmin G600 (EFIS/MFD)
GMA-340 (Audio)
GNS530W (Comm/Nav/ILS/IFR WAAS GPS)
GNS430W (Comm/Nav/ILS/IFR WAAS GPS)
GTX-327 (Transponder)
SAE-5-35 (Encoder)
Installed for $US62,995
ASPEN EFD1000 PRO
Installed for US$14,500
combine with
GNS-430W
GTX-327
GI-106A
Also $14,500 installed. Add another comm etc as CC and FTDK advise above (and Warbo has done on the C185) and you would have an awesome IFR semi glass capable panel for around US$30-35K, a nice clean sheet design, very modern and redundant.
Cheers

Ultralight instructor and Welder, eh?
At least he knew his limitations (for a change) and brought in plenty of qualified blokes to do the work!

Its interesting to go back and read this thread from the start!
Warbo, could you be the first person to have actually taken notice of advice given on Ppr**ne and acted on it?
That's gotta be a first!

From a recent post on the Beechtalk site -
Could be a few cliches to iron out with the Aspen gear!
Good to see you have kept a steam driven AH Warbo, just in case!
Dr
My IAS dropped to about 60kts and the AI on the aspen pro 1000 fripped to a 90 degree bank angle. No problems with the auto pilot though because it is run off the original AI. flipping on the pitot heat immediately restored IAS to 150kts but aspen Ai was still in 90 bank angle
