Ok, I lied about the last 2. By the time I have my RV flying, say in a year and a half, this efis will be obsolete. You are years from needing to choose avionics. You have no idea how big of a project this is. NObody does until they are well in to it. The avionics available when you really need them will be totally different than what there is now. It will be cheaper, more compact, more capable and easier to install than what there is now. Different boxes likely have wireless connections or something that nobody has even imagined.

Everybody loves playing with panels, but it makes no sense to do it at this stage.

Can you hook up a IFR navigator (i.e. gns430w) to the lite version? I know you can with the non-lite.
