My project is a Lancair 360 with a custom engine from Aero Sport power, 4 into one custom exhaust, forward hinge canopy, outback gear. The MVP-50P I mentioned was purchased a few years ago and I think it's a great product. If I didn't already have it I'd likely do a combined PFD and EMS but as it stands now my MVP be a stand alone EMS. Only downside is the extra real estate used on the panel but even with thew small 360 panel I don't think it will be overcrowded. I have received a lot of great advice both privately and through the list and I thank you all very much. I am now comparing and analyzing the Advanced Flight Systems EFIS and the GRT product. Though my IFR flying will be limited I absolutely agree it's either an IFR bird or it's not. Mine will be IFR capable with appropriate backups so I definitely want reliable, stable and proven technology. Thanks for all the great input. I am envious of all you flyers out there and hope to be joining your ranks someday soon!!
