Just finished watching this video and they reported on some breakthrough technology in the avionics market. A small portable EFIS at is all self-contained and only costs $3,600. King has an angle of attack indicator that talks to you. Aspen has a $5,000 VFR EFIS. Wow, things are really moving forward. The portable EFIS looks surprisingly like a Dynon D1/2. The AOA would say "Angle, angle, push", but that was taken so they say "Caution, too slow" or "Check AOA". The Aspen can unlock the IFR features through software for only $4,700 more.
The difference, certification! Aren't we glad we fly experimentals?! These were breakthroughs 5-10 years ago in our world.
