Panel mount GPS are nice, but why spend the money during your training stage when you may decide to upgrade aircraft later. Leave the panel alone if all is working and put your money into your lessons and maintenance.
Your absolutely correct. My current thoughts are a primary training aircraft, not a keeper.
Things may change, but because I can't legally work on my own aircraft, my interest in this type (and every FAA certified type for that matter) is limited.
This is a step toward a homebuilt.
Of course with the amount of passion this board projects, leaving this community may prove impossible.
