Val,

Look at the Dynon system while you are at it. I think you will find it less
than the Enigma and it will give you just as much capability. The Aspen
system is another one to consider. It is TSO'd so you are going to pay about
$6000 for it. Go to www.dynon.com to look at what they offer. You will be
amazed. 

I have flown my Dynon IFR on some approaches at my local drome. It was fine
with all the information I needed infront of my eyeballs.

Hey out there "guys".  It's been awhile since I've posted anything on the
list, but I always enjoy keeping track of what's going on with you all and
the wisdom shared.    I've been having lots of fun over the last year in the
local area learning a little basic acro VFR and generally getting to know my
mountainous local flying and all of the airspace restrictions around SLC.
My CJ panel is about as basic as it gets with a Chinese Artificial Horizon
and a whiskey compass and hand held Lowrance 1000 airmap for nav.  No VOR,
ILS or even an ADF.    Mountains out here generally top 12 -14,000 feet.
I'm seriously considering an expensive but all-in-one Enigma System glass
cockpit with GPS, EFIS, flight instruments, terrain displays,  etc. for
experimental aircraft (non-certified).  It's made by an Austrailian company
called "Air Pacific Light Flying".   Any input from the troops on this will
be appreciated.   I want this because I'm considering extended cross country
flights now to some Red Strar fly-in destinations and being a paranoid
ex-airline pilot, I want my back-ups.  Also, I don't want to accidentally
find myself IFR some dark and stormy night and have my eyeballs cage while
trying to decide what's really happening with the Chinese ADI versus what my
stressed out brain is trying to see from 30 plus years of flying IFR with
the American versions.


Thanks,


P.S.  Despite any differences of opinion  we're bound to have, I don't doubt
that anyone on this list would be willing to pull a brother (or sister) out
of a burning plane at great risk to themselves if the situation called for
it.  These "Yaks" bring some pretty neat (if opinionated) people together,
and for that I am eternally grateful.


Val
