I put an MGL Xtreme EFIS/EMS in my Varieze. Radio and Xpndr are Becker Units... I "gained" about 8 lbs... But the pilot lost the same weight in the meantime, so we're good ;-)

yeah very cool indeed- about 2400 on the website right? what additional cost for sensors etc?

Why do you have your transponder off?

NVM I see this unit had a Li-Ion backup battery.

No standby instruments?
Would suck to lose electrical power.

How much of a weight savings do you thing the switch saved (if any)?

TehMG- yes there is a backup battery built in the Dynon. I also have an alternator and a ship battery, so the likelyhood of loosing all 3 is slim... also my Garmin 396 has a 'derived' instrument panel and a built in battery, so technically I DO have standby instruments! And I could always just look out the window!

what is the cost compared to traditional avionics? i want to build an EZ with IFR capabilities and thought a glass cockpit might be the cheaper route to go.

I had a broken altimeter and turn coordinator so the 'real cost' was only about 2k.
