I'd forgotten to add the final panel pic. Garmin GTN 750xi, SL30 NavCom, GFC 500 4-servo autopilot with yaw damper, three Garmin GI-275's and a JPI 930 engine monitor. No more vacuum pump or air gyros! Now, I just need to learn how to run this fancy stuff; I'm going to Garmin Avionics School at Olathe KS HQ in August.

Going to school for all the new stuff is awesome. The 275's touch screen is a bit iffy. Getting into some choppy air can make things a bit difficult. Having to swipe up for the different pages works...but not my favorite for sure. Enjoy the new goodies!

looking forward to 4 years of TRUMP!

Very, very nice upgrade. It’s a whole new aircraft.

I like the tag under the gauge readout Cool

Why the X on the fuel gauges? Inop senders?

NICE job! I would feel very comfortable with that panel.

I really like the 930, with all engine / power / electrical system management information grouped in one display. Much better than the original Beech S35 presentation, scattered all over the place, with MP and tachometer on separate instruments, EGT on a third one, oil pressure and CHT on the sub-panel, and I forget where the ammeter / voltmeter were placed. Took a lot of eye movement to keep track of things.

Long story: in short, new CiES frequency level senders in the tips, but OE Beech resistive senders in the mains. By August 1st, all 6 senders will be new CiES, the red X's will be gone and the GPS will talk to the 930 for predicted fuel situation. This bird is going to make a trip across the Atlantic next year, and I want really good fuel situational awareness.

Thanks for the explanation. What's the planned trip & route?

The paint job looks awesome and it makes the plane look a lot newer than it is.
