    Which panel layout would you choose?

    I like the G5 right next to the Aspen. I've heard you want the backup as close to the normal DG to simplify changes to your scan in case of loss of primary during IMC

    Engine shop recommendations (teardown/IRAN)

    I know you asked for Texas but I recently had an IO360C1C6 IRANd by Western skyways. Base cost $11k plus anything that needs fixing/replacement. They will put it on a dyno and run it for 3 hours when they are done. Shipping costs to/from Colorado is baked into the price. They contract with...
