Outstanding transformation and selection of new avionics. Flew with the GTN 750 for helicopter instrument rating; that is one powerful piece of gear in the panel. Having the touchscreen in any aircraft, especially a helo is a Godsend! Your plane looks totally 21st century. Noticed you are wearing the Bose headset. Any preference between the Lightspeed and Bose? Thanks for your videos. Interesting and professional.
I do not find much diff b/w the Lightspeed Zulu3 and the Bose. The Sierra is just as nice but is a bit heavier. Like them both but like the Lightspeed price better.

That 58 is staying in your hanger for some time to come! :)
The IO550s was a great move!
Love the new glass too!
Nice! Do you ever miss having the sacred six right in front of you, or is this an "I'll never look back" kind of thing? :)
Dan Bennett Still own my Cardinal.
But yes an old plane with upgraded avionics gives the plane new life and save money buying new aircraft
