Glass panel upgrade to a Turbo Arrow?

I would guess that the cost of installing a full Chelton system in an
older Arrow would exceed the value of the airplane. Let me know when
you have it done, though - there's about a 50% return on avionics
upgrades at time of resale so sounds like a great deal for the next
owner... :-)

Have not decided yet what to do - just charting
the terrain ...

Maybe I just rebuild the radio stack and let the
rest be just a dream.

A good PA28RT-201T (Turbo Arrow IV) with mid-time engine is probably worth
about $90K or more these days. Not sure what the full Chelton treatment
runs, but I suspect it's well below $45K. At any rate, if you are planning
to keep the airplane for a number of years the resale value of your avionics
investment is not a big deal. Get what you want and can afford.
