I am not new to aviation, I have built two aircraft and an ultralight, and finally I am building an aircraft of my own design (30-years of dreaming).
I am hung up on what type of panel I'd like. Since I am old school and have no intent's of flying IFR, I just want a few basic instruments, with a low cost glass panel that will help in basic navigation. My budget is very slim as I am retired.
I have read many articles on the pro's and cons of a glass panel versus the old steam gauges, but as stated I am old school and just want to fly VFR legally, taking my wife on short cross-country hops.
By the way, I hold a Canadian license as well, or did (expired earlier this year.), but since I have Permanent Canadian Resident, I'd like to fly across the border and back.
So my question is, what do you have that will fit my budget? I was looking at some of your old stuff and even that would break my bank.
Thanks to anyone responding. :-[
