Default This is RIDICULOUS!!!
I'm posting this knowing others have much more than I have in my panel

BUT..........I just added it up.........I now officially have MORE in my panel than what I bought my first house for in 1981...$25,000 at 18%, back in the Jimmy Carter days

That's just not right!!

My EFIS cost more than my kit. My panel cost more than my kit and new engine. But everything combined will still be much less than a new spam can and better performance. I can live with that.

Oh, I'm saying it in a good way, I just remember my wife and I sitting in the bank lobby worried to death we wouldn't get out house and now I'm looking at this panel sitting on my great room table..........and it just doesn't seem right

Hey Doug, I'm thinking about downsizing, care to part with that sweet pink estrogen express ride of yours

Most panels in -10s are in the $50-$75K range. According to Steinair his RV-10 panels are in the $90K range. That's more than I spend on my X-wife!

Not all of our RV-10 Panels are $90K - but some are. Some are less and some are more! I know we've done RV10 panels for nearly every budget out there, rich or poor. I guess a lot of people like having their Cirrus type plane with similar avionics in it an nearly 1/3rd the cost - who can blame them!

And...ya'll should know by now. We have two mottos coined for us by our customers. I think we'll put one of them on the back of our OSH shirts. Here they are:

1) "We're not happy....'till you're broke"

2) "The best ALL your money can buy".

Dean Sombke actually made me a SteinAir shirt with #1 on it after we did his RV10 stuff, so I thought it might be fun to have something similar at OSH. Which one do ya'll like best?

The only problem is that I'm sure someone would take it seriously and get offended by it!

Cheers,
Stein

PS, we've still got a long way to go with Dana before he's completely out of money!

I remember when people could fly with an airspeed indicator and a compass.

Default Test out the color
Presidents were red as power ties.

Is this Doug's power color?
