I'm curious what percentage of you are going 100% Glass, going old school (Steam), a mix, or have you built a such simple panels it doesn't really apply.
In my case, I put in a mix only because at the time I designed my panel there was a lot a questions regarding the reliability of all glass panels. If I were to do it again, I might not put in the steam gauges, then again, I might do it exactly as I have done.
Update/Clarification:
Radios, GPS Units, VOR's, and clocks are not part of the instrument package, for the purposes of this poll.
We are trying to get to the basic "six pack" instruments and engine instruments. (Yes, there are some people who are putting in backup engine gauges.)
If you are building a simple VFR panel and installing something like the Dynon D180 as your only instrument, then you are 100% glass.
(Maybe I should have added more choices such as "IFR - 100% Glass", "VFR - 100% Glass", "IFR - Mixed", "VFR - Mixed", etc. - Doug can you help?)
