To me the all electric option is attractive but before I proceed with my order I would like to ask your opinions. Is it better? Is it safer? especially under IFR? Does the FAA have any problems with one using it under IFR? Is it costlier? Many thanks to those who responded to my question about 12v or 24v electrical systems.
