I am setting up an IFR panel in my 6A. I plan to get my IFR ticket in the 6 once built.
I have a Dynon EFIS and EMS and have equipped a backup ASI and ALT, as well as a compass. I also have a Trio AP to act as a TC backup. I bought the steam gauges as a set and have a VSI that I planned to sell. As I thought about it more, I thought maybe it would be a good backup as well. The only space left on my panel is in the upper right corner. Is it worth taking the space to put it there as a backup? I thought it might help in my training, as they will want me to do partial panel work. I could also temporarily mount it to the bottom of the panel just for training work.
I was hoping some of those with more experience than I could offer their thoughts here.
Thanks,
Larry
