The 20+ year old Garmin 250XL gave up the ghost the other day in my RV6a. I have a (in perfect condition) Garmin 430 Waas that I have been holding on to as a com for another project aircraft.
That prompted another "decision making rabbit hole" that ended up with the purchase of a GNC 355 for the RV (talk about price drift). Anyway, a friend asked me, why don't you sell the 430 (no need for the VOR/ILS) and just buy another 355 tray (and GPS antenna) for the project aircraft and just swap the radios... he argued "you can't fly both aircraft at the same time"
Well, why don't I? Bad idea?
Pros are obvious ...$$$$$$
Cons.......??????
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
