3rd Owner - Sonex "A" - 9SL: Panel Equipment - ADS-B? Mapleshade
Expenses:  $0.00

Installed and mostly wired in the panel is a Dynon FlightDek D180, Garmin GPSMap 496 w/panel mount, Radio (not sure what one at the moment) and a few other items.  The biggest item I need to add is ADS-B. I would like to have ADS-B in to the D180, but that might not be feasible.  I like the EFIS features, the autopilot servos are installed. Lots to test/validate and finalize.

I'm currently a VFR pilot and someday plan to get my IFR.  Current plan is to finish out the plane by adding the Turbo and fly with existing equipment (+ADS-B).  While flying the 40 hours off I will be planning the next panel to build and swap in over a few winter months.  That would trigger a requirement to fly off another 5 or more hours again as I understand it.  Full IFR (for a homebuilt) is the long term goal.

Finally got my BFR done after getting medical done and switching from 3rd class to Basic Med.  Need to update the log book where I had done a lot of flying until 1.5 years ago.  Have not updated the log since 12/2014, but had done much flying in the years.  Have all the plane logs, so just a matter of sitting down and doing it (damn paperwork).
