All of this is sooo much like jr. High. You guys have so much knowlege, why the ****ing matches?

They told me no so I ordered a gfc500

What's it fit?

What kind of unknowns are popping up?

Why not? It's VFR only, 660 is my primary navigation, why not let it drive AP too?

Just for clarification, will a Garmin Aera 660 feed a g5 GPS info, which then feeds a GFC500 AP? Will this work in the certified version g5 as well as the experimental ?

Finally found mine on 182q. Loose screw on Microswitch in wing. What a ***** to get to. Finally drilled a little hole, then stuck a plug in it. So far, so good.

You really need to look for a rancher.

That also included vacuum system removal and new panel overlay

My quote for 2 g5, gfc500, with auto trim, gmu11, and labor is 24k

And I am getting 2 g5's with new autopilot

Looks like Pledge for top half and Prist for bottom half, I guess.

I think I have everything now to get ifr "legal". It's what I should have to be more up to date that I'm wondering about. Thanks so much everyone for your replies. All very helpful so far.

Yes, I should get ADSB out sometime. No real requirement for it in Montana.

I'm thinking it will be awhile before IFR training happens. As far as a future owner, well I hope to keep this 182 till I can't fly anymore, so my estate can worry about that. LOl. Do I need to plan for anything else than what i have listed to be descent IFR? I will definitely get the PS audio...

My total plan is 2 g5, gfc500. Then a gma345 audio panel and a gtn 650 with ga35. Remove adf, move transponder back to stack. G5's will replace current AI and DG. Remove vacuum system. Someday get a engine analyser to put in adf hole. What am I missing? Goal is to have a very solid vfr panel.

Also, any ideas on how to mount? I'm thinking use existing holes. Down the road, when new gps, audio panel, transponder get installed I'll need to make some changes but not sure what to do. Budget for first go round is 20 - 25 AMU. Attached pic is current panel.

Ill call on Monday. Just got quote friday.

I guess another 4k installed is the best way to go then?

Pretty certain I am going to start my panel upgrade on a 77 182q. All original. Going to start with 2 g5's and a AP. Is electric trim worth adding another 4k to price. What are the advantages? Thanks for all replies.
