Default Dream Panel

I've got two G5s in my airplane, one as an ADI and the other as an HSI.Â*
Either can perform the functions of the other and the internal battery
is good for 4 hours, I believe.Â* Great instruments!Â* I'd have them in my
glider if I didn't already have a Dynon.

As you may already know, I am ordering a new ASH31Mi. I am in the process of coming up with the panel layout and instrument selection. I would love to here from other pilots what they consider to be their dream panel (cost is not an issue).

Hi
So the dream panel include a lot of air avionic product.

Looking at the last 3 sailplane GP participant equipement it include mostly of LX Nav,a few LX Navigation and a few of all the other including Air glide product in their panel.
I wonder why?

Yes, it seems that the bulk of innovation is coming out of two companies!

I am looking for a digital ASI and found this one from, guess who, LX NAV:

The only distributor listed for the US is Cumulus Soaring, but Paul does not carry this product. Does anyone have any experience with this ASI and knows where to buy it (Europe is ok)?

Tom, you should seriously look at the Garmin G5 to replace a slew of instruments:

Much cheaper than the others discussed and it includes an attitude indicator (plus ALT, ASI, Heading and vert. speed uncomp.). With a good backup battery, that thing would save you a lot of panel space.
