Currently panel and a quick overlay of a G3X. Imagine both sides with a single panel and 530in the middle along with my IPad mini. Nothing else in the panel. Van system going away along with all round gauges. My backup to the dual G3X will be my IPad with GDL-39 3d on its own backup battery as well.

What can be done to manage wintertime weather issues (ice?). any tks possibilities with the Glasair? Just use altitude? What is climb rate at 10-12K? This could be my next airplane, but the Pacific NW could be a wintertime challenge.

Unfortunately, it will not handle ice and there is no TKS kit. This is the biggest drawback. We are the ice capital of the country here, so I will have to be careful. Climb rate at 10-12k is still 1k per minute with the long wing tips.

Todd, when it's finished, fly your butt down here, and bring some shootin irons. :dancing:

That's one mean looking machine Todd. Glasair has such beautiful lines and the paint on that one really compliments them. :thumbup:

Be careful out there.

Now I just have to rip out the whimpy 8.5:1 pistons and get some 12:1 replacements. I want to go fast. I can't let Musick cruise faster than me in that spam can.
