I'm happy you're happy with your panel. Your experience really REALLY makes me sad! I truly enjoy flying but I have to admit, the older I get (and admittedly, "crustier") the more I wonder if the headaches associated with maintaining (and upgrading) airplanes is worth it. General Aviation is not easy, that's for sure. It really is difficult to tell who knows what they are doing, and who doesn't until it's too late. UGH!

Good Luck!

P.S. Had a great day of flying my SkyMaster yesterday with two of my flying buddies (good thing)! First time in a month due to schedule conflicts, work, Chicago winter Wx (bad thing)!

Do I sound conflicted? Sorry for my little rant! Thanks for sharing your story.
