Default New Panel Help

Hello All,
I am returning to the sport after a 30 year hiatus. I have recently purchased an SHK1, which I am refinishing/restoring. My goal is to use this ship to earn FAI badges, not to fly competitively. Given this information, and a limited budget, I am looking for opinions regarding instruments, GPS, Navigation and logger choices as well as their placement on the panel. The ship came with three mechanical variometers, a sage and two winters, an altimeter and an airspeed indicator. What would a good panel look like and comprise?
Thanks for any help.
Bill


Bill,

If you want to call and talk about panel update experiences please do. I have replaced panels in many glider with many different types of flight computers. Including Nano-V7-Oudie, PowerFlarm LXNAV LX9000, PowerFlarm- V7/V8/V80-ultimate le. Also tip on panel material and finishing.


Instructions for cutting exact 57mm & 80mm holes on this page:
