Hi Ossie , I have been closely following Dynon for their stc approval as well. I have a 1960 180 that needs a panel upgrade badly. Unfortunately, Dynon hasn’t really got their stuff together, Last year about July I talked to them and they said they were very close to the C172 STC and then the Baron would be right behind it, the salesman thought that they would do a piper soon after that and I should hear something by Oct….well it took until Apr and Sun n Fun this year and they just got the C172 STC. I think also that if they do a piper it will be a PA 28 1st cause it’s more prevalents, but who knows. I went to Dynon website and filled out their contact form, so the more people that do that the better chance of them doing a Comanche earlier. I am not going to hold my breath though…seems like it’s going to be several years at best for us, so I am going to pull the trigger and upgrade now. It badly needs it, I am using a ForeFlight for vfr stuff, as the old instruments don’t work and I don’t want to throw good money after bad.
I am thinking 2 G 5s, a GPS 430w or better, new panel, tpdr for adsb, audio phl, and a backup nav loc indicator. My budget is 30 to 40 k.
I would love to get an autopilot and engine system monitoring like edm 900, but that is outta my budget. If only Dynon was quicker, I could get all that plus for 20 k plus labor.
Hope this helps.
