[IFlyEm]

Hey guys. Pricing out a panel for an RV-8 or Rocket.

Here is what I am looking at:
Garmin G3X DUAL Screen
GNS 430
SL30
GMA 240
GTX 327


Looking for standby suggestions. Is there any decent small efis backup with an on board battery?

Any other items do I need for a full IFR panel?

Thanks!

I flew behind a RCA 2600-2 a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed. Not a full EFIS, but a solid state attitude indicator. Add a 2 inch altimeter and asi and you're set. They have a separate backup battery option or you could wire your own (it's trivial).

Trutrak Gemini when it is released. Supposedly at Osh. $1500 I am told by Trutrak.

Dynon sells the D6, which is a 3.5" EFIS. Comes with full attitude, airspeed, altitude, magnetic heading, vertical turn rate, and ball. All for $1600, plus $130 if you want an internal backup battery.

Available today, based on the EFIS-D10A we have been selling for 8 years, and gives you full attitude and heading information, not just turn rate, vertical speed, and GPS ground track. You can even do AoA with it.
