Folks,
Considering redundancy options for a G3X panel and I would prefer to use battery backups to give me roughly an hour of functionality before the screens go dark. What that functionality would be exactly is negotiable depending on complexity, cost, and design issues. I have sent a query to Garmin to see what they have to say but wanted to poll the community and see if anyone has gone a similar route.
I want to be able to have autopilot, comm/nav/GPS/ILS and at least some external lighting. Pitot heat is on the table.
If any builders have gone this route and would like to share thoughts I would love to hear about it. Stein will be doing my panel - I'm not an avionics guy or an electrician unfortunately.
