So I've got the kits, engine, and propeller ordered. Narrowing down the options on the panel, and realize I need a serious avionics education. My plans for this -14 is to see north America, USVI, Bahamas, Alaska, and basically everywhere I haven't seen before, including OSH. I do not yet have, but very much plan to earn an instrument rating, and to use it.
What I need is an education on avionics. I haven't a clue whether all the below is desirable on a -14, ILS for example seems a bit much for a small GA airplane, but maybe it's something that everyone that has it is uses? Where can I turn to learn? Opinions are appreciated, but I want to know what and why I am doing whatever I decide to do.
With all the Garmin goodies, pre-wired and installed on a panel, the shipped cost is about $60k with VOR/ILS, two comm radios, a vertical power VPX unit, 3-axis autopilot, etc.
Appreciate the vast unpaid research department!
All experience and knowledge appreciated.
