In that case I see lots of dollar$$$....and huge technological capabilities....

Those round clock dials look exactly the same as they did sixty years ago.....kinda boring, eh?

To each his own. :)

Which is exactly the point. I like a mix of the old and new, the best of both worlds. I've got a whiskey compass too! :D

.....and like looking into the cockpits of new turbo-props, corporate jets, Boeings, Airbuses......, all with glass screens and a few switches.

From my years of experience flying glass panels since the mid 90s, I felt very comfortable equipping my RV with only glass displays. My experience is that the glass has been a lot more reliable than the iron gages I used to fly with back in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s.
