My RV-7A has a nice panel but it was put together some time ago.
The GPS is a Bendix King KMD 150. You can't get database updates (and when you could they were $245 per update). The system drives an auto pilot which is a TruTrack Digiflight II.
If you want to see a quick summary of panel it is on a short video at https://youtu.be/g7kscPKzQRs
I am intending to have this plane for some time. I would like to have a panel which has a quality source which is likely to be WAAS etc. For example a GTN 635 from Garmin see LINK is an expensive unit at US$10.4k (excluding fitting). Features such as XM weather are not of interest due to use in Australia and ADS-B needs to be 1090ES as Australia has opted for all aircraft, except those operating under the VFR in Class D airspace or in Class G below 10 000 feet to be at 1090ES.
Any comments suggesting the most appropriate replacement for the KMD 150 are most welcome.
