I'm looking for some input from guys who do aerobatics (but others can chime in also) regarding their experience of using their EFIS set up to display the steam gauges when doing aerobatics.
I'm upgrading the panel on my -4, and was strongly leaning towards keeping my ASI and altimeter because it's much easier to just quickly glance at these gauges for a split second to see what the plane is doing vs. having to read digits on the tape of the EFIS.
My plan was to keep the ASI and altimeter and go with the 7" GRT Sport EX EFIS. The other option would be to get the 10" version which has a mode for displaying the six-pack. My question is this: for those who do aerobatics and use this display mode, what do you think? The simulated round gauges are as good as the real ones when doing aerobatics? Some EFIS's momentarily freeze or have some lag you're in unusual attitudes and the antenna loses GPS signal. Is this a problem with GRT?
