Location: Placerville, CA.... You know, the only place on Highway 50 between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe the you find signal lights. Above the fog most of the time and I can see the stars of the Milky Way 8 out of 10 nights. Kinda cool.....

Probably keeping the old Narco, May look for a used garmin sl30 nav/com.

The shop will let me assist on some of the work, but still going to cost a few thousand for install.



This will give me a IFR GPS, adsb, stereo audio panel with Bluetooth, and still have a ILS.



But it won’t make the plane any faster.


DM,
May not cause it to go faster, but the interior “cool” factor will gain you at least 25 knots[emoji6]

That is going to be a cool upgrade, although it will be more than the ol C-150 heavy is worth. Lol and I am squawking about a $600.00 led beacon.....[emoji849]

Here is an archaic panel to laugh at [emoji1]


Keep us updated on the upgrade. I watched a video where an owner of a V-tail went all glass with only a couple of steam gauges as redundancies. He was able to trim 60 pounds out of the plane by just pulling all of the wiring and old crap out. Changed his CG and really looks good.

Cheers
